Sporting Lisbon will host Santa Clara at the Estádio José Alvalade in round 16 of the Taca de Portugal. Both sides have already met once this season with Santa Clara securing a 1-0 away victory in Liga Portugal. Here's our match prediction.
It was in this competition that the new gaffer João Pereira secured his first win in charge, wiping out third-tier outfit Amarante in a 6-0 home victory.
However, his initial success was short-lived as the team’s performance hit rock bottom, losing four consecutive matches across all competitions recording two defeats each—in the UEFA Champions League and Liga Portugal.
The Lions managed to stop that rot with a hard-fought 3-2 league victory over Boavista on Saturday. This should be enough to motivate them to secure their third consecutive win in the Taca de Portugal.
After defeating Sporting Lisbon 1-0 away in the league, Santa Clara beat Rio Ave by the same scoreline before getting a taste of their own medicine in a recent 1-0 away defeat to FC Arouca on Sunday.
The Azoreans secured their place in the round of 16 of the Taca de Portugal emerging victorious in back-to-back 1-0 victories on the road against Gondomar and Famalicao.
They'll be bidding to make their second consecutive appearance in the quarter-final of the Taca de Portugal following their elimination at the hands of FC Porto in the previous edition.
