Portimonense, Recent FormPortimonense boss Paulo Sérgio will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 5-2 away mauling from Moreirense. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Moreirense, who had 16 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Sérgio will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 14 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 7 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 14 games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Sporting CP, Recent FormSporting CP will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their home fixture against Porto. They came away from that fixture with a 43% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Porto, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Rúben Amorim will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 22 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games away from home.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games. It's been a good season so far with them having won 11 of their 14 league games.
On an individual basis, Viktor Gyökeres will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 10 goals in Sporting CP's 14 league games this season.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Sporting CP produced a comfortable 0-1 victory.
The Portimonense defence has struggled against Sportinguistas in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 14 games. Ahead of this match, Portimonense won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 2 meetings against Sportinguistas. In their recent meetings Sporting CP have had no problem breaking down Portimonense's defence, having found the back of the net 13 times in their last 5 games.
Undefeated in their last 9 league encounters against Portimonense, Sporting CP have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last 9 times in a row.
Nuno Santos will be feeling confident of netting goals for Sporting CP in this one against Portimonense with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
With no real injury worries, Portimonense manager Paulo Sérgio will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Iván Fresneda (Shoulder) and Jeremiah St. Juste (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Rúben Amorim will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
