Santa Clara will hope to keep alive their European dreams when they host giants Sporting Lisbon in their next Primeira Liga match. This will be a matchday 29 clash, pitting two sides that are 20 points apart. We have a prediction below.
There are 18 points still to play for, and Santa Clara need a chunk of them and a slice of luck to topple Porto. The hosts, in fifth, start this game trailing fourth-placed FC Porto by 10 points.
They had a golden chance to close this gap last time out but suffered a 2-0 defeat at Vitoria Guimaraes. In the reverse fixture, Santa Clara beat Sporting 1-0 away from home.
Sporting lost their advantage in the standings after playing to a 1-1 draw with Sporting Braga in their last outing. In an eventful match, Sporting had to grab the equalizer three minutes from time.
The match would end with Joao Moutinho sent off. The giants saw a six-match winning run brought to an end, but they are still unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Sporting now trail new leaders Benfica by two points and are no longer in control of the title race. They will wrap up the season with a game against Benfica, so this is still open to anyone if they can hold off till then.
