The top two face each other and a win for Sporting Lisbon will take them two points clear at the top. A win for the visitors though will put them four points clear of their rivals. Of the last ten league games these sides have played, nine have resulted in wins for Sporting and Porto. That one other result saw a major shock though when Lisbon lost 1-0 at 15th placed Madeira. They need to bounce back from that result and have a strong home record with five wins and a draw scoring 12 and conceding just three. The only game they played at home that they didn't win was the visit of Pacos Ferreira. The last five at home have been won though with just two goals conceded. Porto are in great form and after 14 league games are still unbeaten. They got knocked out of the Champions League but in Portugal lead the table by a point from Sporting. They've won their last six league games and have won four of their last five away games. There's not much between these two sides and looking at past results, I go for this to end in a draw.
