📋 Team News: Estrela Amadora

There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Estrela Amadora manager João Nuno to be concerned about due to a largely intact squad. Jefferson Encada (Muscle injury) will miss out.

It looks as if Estrela Amadora look set to kick off with a 4-3-3 formation for the game with Renan Ribeiro, Max Scholze, Luan Patrick, Bernardo Schappo, Bruno Langa, Eddy Doué, Kevin Höög Jansson, Alex Sola, Abraham Marcus, Rodrigo Pinho and Ianis Stoica.

ℹ️ Team News: Sporting Lisbon

Sporting Lisbon manager Rui Borges has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Geovany Quenda (Metatarsal fracture), Luís Guilherme (Ankle sprain) and Fotis Ioannidis (Inner ligament injury) are not able to play.

We reckon that Sportinguistas seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Rui Silva, Georgios Vagiannidis, Eduardo Quaresma, Zeno Debast, Ricardo Mangas, Daniel Bragança, Hidemasa Morita, Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincão, P. Gonçalves Pote and Rafael Nel.

🔮 Prediction

In our opinion, Estrela Amadora have the ability to get a goal against this Sporting Lisbon team, although just one goal likely won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re therefore tipping a very close game with a 1-2 winning score for Sporting Lisbon when the referee blows the final whistle. It should be a decent one.
