Sporting Lisbon are in prime position to win the Portuguese league title and this Monday they travel to Moreirense hoping to extend their lead in the Primeira Liga. Going to the game, hosts Moreirense have managed 30 points, in eighth place while Sporting are on 64 points, at the top of the standings. Moreirense are closer to the relegation region than the European places and it is safer for them to target a mid table finish. They are nine points above the drop zone, and a run of just three wins in their last 10 league matches isn’t helping their push a lot. They’ve managed just one clean sheet in the last seven league matches and collected only five points in the last five matches, while failing to score in two of the five. Moreirense do not have a very good run at home; they are without a win in the last seven matches in all competitions, and winless in the last six league matches there. In the last 15 league matches at home, they’ve managed just three wins, but lost only three.

Sporting are unbeaten in their last 15 encounters with Moreirense and are also still unbeaten in the league. They also have the best defence in the league so far, having conceded 11 goals in the 24 matches played. The league leaders do not score a lot, just enough to win them points and they’ve perfected it. In their last three matches, they’ve won by one-goal margins, and the same has been the case in seven of the last 13 matches across all competitions. Sporting haven’t scored more than two goals in their last 17 league matches. They have nine wins in the last 10 league matches and kept eight clean sheets in the process. Away from home, they have 10 wins in the 12 matches played and kept eight clean sheets in the process. They’ve scored two or more goals in 10 of their last 12 away league matches.
