Sporting Lisbon have a busy schedule ahead as club football resumes after the international break. Sitting second, they will be hosting 13th-placed Santa Clara in the league this Friday. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Sporting must have felt disrupted by the international break, having posted back-to-back wins and scoring nine times. The Portuguese giants recovered from their 3-0 loss to Bodo/Glimt with a 5-0 home win.
They then thumped Alverca 4-1 before heading into the international pause. One clean sheet in their last four matches suggests there’s still work to do for Sporting. With an eight-game unbeaten run at home, though, they won’t have much to worry about.
Santa Clara were also on a good stride by the time the break approached. They had posted three straight wins and are now unbeaten in their last five matches.
Os Acoreanos have opened up a six-point buffer from the relegation zone and will be looking to rise further here. In their last outing the visitors beat Gil Vicente for their third straight clean sheet.
Before this three-game winning window, Santa Clara had gone 12 matches without a win. Their away form, however, suggests they are still struggling, having won just once in 10.
