Gameweek 22 in the Primeira Liga will come to an end with Moreirense taking on Sporting Lisbon on Monday evening. The hosts are currently in sixth place in the league standings, while the visitors are second. Moreirense are enjoying an incredible return to the top flight of Portuguese football. They are on 35 points after 21 matches and still in with a shout of European qualification, five points off fourth-placed Braga. The Green and Whites secured their 10th win of the season last weekend, beating bottom club Chaves 1-0 at home, marking their third win in their last five games. At home, Moreirense are looking for a third straight win and have only been beaten once in their last eight matches. However, they face a huge task here, against a side they lost 3-0 to in the reverse fixture and have failed to beat in their last 15 attempts dating back to 2015. 

Meanwhile, Sporting will head into this fixture with bags of confidence. Following a resounding 5-0 win over European contenders Braga last weekend, they put on yet another dominant display in midweek, beating Young Boys 3-1 in the first leg of their Europa League playoff. That result took the Lions to a fourth successive win in all competitions. In league terms, they have won seven in a row, scoring a whopping 30 goals in that time while conceding just three. Away from home, Sporting are riding a three-match winning streak and scored two or more goals in each of those matches. The visitors are in sublime form at the moment and are unsurprisingly massively favoured according to the latest bookmaker odds.
