AVS
Sporting CP and AVS face each other at Estadio Jose Alvalade in what is expected to be a David-vs-Goliath clash. The Lions look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their seventh consecutive win in all competitions and they must be brimming with confidence following the Champions League triumph over AVS. Goncalo Inacio is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the midweek victory, while all Vladan Kovacevic, Eduardo Quaresma, and Diogo Pinto remain in the recovery room.
The visiting side, on the other hand, have been producing fine displays at home this term, but given their poor away record, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Goalkeeper Lucas Moura remains on the sidelines with injury for the visiting team. It has to be noted that the two clubs meet for the first time in the Portuguese top flight.
