Sporting v Portimonense Match preview
The reigning champions are level on points with FC Porto who play Benfica on Thursday night. However, Ruben Amorim’s side have done an admirable job this season. They’re currently undefeated and after ending their 19-year wait for domestic success, are eager to add another trophy to their haul.
Defensively, the Lisbon giants have been very good while goals continue to flow for them.
Paulo Sergio’s men were held to a 1-1 draw by Arouca in their previous league encounter. However, they’ve been doing very well in recent weeks and are unbeaten in six of their last seven outings in all competitions.
They’re in sixth place in the league standings and have every chance of playing in Europe next season. However, Os Alvinegros have a daunting task ahead.
