Champions Sporting play host to Estoril at the Estádio José Alvalade in this Portuguese Premier League encounter. The home team are in second place on the table with 54 points while the visitors are in 7th position with 30 points. Sporting will want to quickly forget their last two matches as they received three red cards in their match against Porto and then lost midweek 5-0 to English champions Manchester City in the Champions League. They are six points behind leaders Porto and know anything other than three points will make it very difficult to catch them. Sporting have an excellent home record winning nine of their eleven matches with one draw and one loss. They also have a great record against Estoril as they have only lost once in their last eleven league matches.

Estoril had a good 1-0 home win in their last league match against Tondela. This has taken them to 7th position on the table and they are now just seven points away from the Europa Conference positions. The fifth placed team in the league qualifies for this competition. The win in their last match broke a run of eight league matches without a win. They had lost five of those matches with three draws. Estoril have struggled away from home and are without an away win in their last four matches. Their lack of goals has been their biggest problem as they have only scored three goals in the last five matches which include two goalless draws.
