Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-0
Boavista
Following a 4-2 loss to Ajax in the Champions League, Sporting CP will look to extend their winning run in Primeira Liga to nine games when they host Boavista to their Estadio Jose Alvalade on Matchday 14. The Lions are breathing down Porto’s neck, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Boavista. Pacey winger Pablo Sarabia, who found the net in the Lisbon derby win at the weekend, will be one of the men to watch in the home team.
All Zou Feddal, Joao Palhinha, Ruben Vinagre, and Jovane Cabral are likely to miss the game with injuries. The Black and Whites, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their best form of late, with the team collecting only one point in total in the previous four league fixtures. Since Boavista are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on the capital club. Midfielder Gaius Makouta is banned for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Sebastian Coates):
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, on October 7, 1990, Sebastian Coates is a 196-cm-tall defender who plays for Sporting CP in Primeira Liga.

Founded on August 1, 1903, Boavista are a Portuguese club that welcome their rivals at Estadio do Bessa. The capacity of the venue is 28,263 and it was built back in 1911. As Panteras (The Panthers) are well known for their black and white shirts and white is the dominant colour of their away kit.
