=12ptIt has been a fantastic run for Sporting in the Primeira Liga and they could cap the race with success on Tuesday, when they welcome Boavista. Sporting have79 points at the top of the league standings while Boavista are 16th on 30 points. Sporting beat Rio Ave 2-0 in the last game and Porto’s draw with Benfica meant they opened an eight-point gap. It also meant Sporting need two more points to secure their first league title since 2002. Sporting are still unbeaten in the league and will want it to remain so for now. In their last 17 league matches they have 13 wins and in their last home game they rose from two straight draws to beat Nacional. That was their 11th home win in 15 league matches this season. Their last three matches in the league have seen a red card flashed out, once for a Sporting player and twice for the opposing team. Their fine attacking displays have seen the team win three penalties in the last four games.

=12ptBoavista are currently occupying the relegation playoff slot, and are two points above the relegation zone. For them thus, this game is as key as it is for Sporting, but they have no win in their last four matches, and have also not kept a clean sheet in four matches. Their last 15 league matches have only produced four wins for Boavista and they will be hoping to improve on their 1-1 draw with Tondela as they face the league leaders. It is however hard to see them bag three points here, coming from one win in six away league matches and just two wins in the 15 played. They have conceded two or more goals in five of the last six away league matches, and in the last 10, they have only two clean sheets.
