Sporting welcomes Famalicao to the Estadio Jose Alvalade in this Portuguese Premier League. The hosts are 2nd on the table with 50 points while the visitors are in 16thposition with 17 points. Sporting have had a mixed bag of results in the league losing two of their last five matches. This indifferent form has seen the defending champions fall six points behind league leaders Porto. They lost their last home match in the league when they went down 2-1 to Braga. This was their first home loss of the season and they will be keen to bounce back in this match. Sporting have the best defensive record in the league and at home they have only conceded five goals in ten matches. They are unbeaten in their last four matches against Famalicao with three draws and a win.

Famalicao have won just one match in their last ten and now find themselves in the relegation zone. They are just one point from safety but their recent form needs to change or else they will face the drop. They have had three draws in the last five matches but will need to convert draws into wins and move out of the dreaded drop zone. They have only won twice in their ten away matches and the reason for this has been their porous defence. They have conceded a league high 22 goals on the road at an average of 2.2 goals per match.
