Injury-hit Sporting will take a break from league action to face Santa Clara in their Portuguese Cup defence. These two will be vying for a place in the quarter-finals, and below we have a prediction of the match.
The winner here will set up a match against either Vitoria Guimaraes or AFS. Santa Clara, the hosts, have already lost to Sporting this season in a Primeira Liga game.
That was their second straight defeat against this opponent in a fixture they rarely do well in. A 3-0 win against Industria sent them to this stage, and they are yet to concede a goal in this competition.
Across their last 10 matches, Santa Clara managed just three wins.
Sporting recovered from two tough outings with a comfortable win in their last outing. After drawing 1-1 with Benfica and losing 3-1 to Bayern Munich, they thrashed AFS 6-0.
That was the third time in the last five matches that they scored at least three goals. Having seen their 12-game unbeaten run go up in smoke, the target is to start another impressive streak.
Sporting have beaten Santa Clara seven times in the last 10 meetings and will still be favorites to advance here. The current holders, Sporting, are seeking a 19th triumph and started well with wins over Pacos Ferreira and Marinhense.
