Sporting CP, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Sporting CP managed a remarkable 3-0 away win against Arouca. In that game they had 38% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Arouca who had 12 attempts and 2 on target.
Manager Rúben Amorim will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 24 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 32 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 12 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten at Estádio José Alvalade in 19 league games.
On an individual basis, Viktor Gyökeres will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Estádio José Alvalade having scored 7 goals in Sporting CP's last 6 home games in the league.
Boavista, Recent FormBoavista will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Moreirense. They came away from that fixture with a 35% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Moreirense, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 23 of their 25 games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Boavista suffered the disappointment of a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Sporting CP the last time they met in the league.
It's been a very long time since As Panteras came to Estádio José Alvalade in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 8 visits. Sporting CP will be confident of finding the net in this one against As Panteras, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 16 encounters between the two sides. In their past 5 meetings, Sportinguistas' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Boavista will have to take their chances when they come.
Boavista will be desperate to get some points from this game, having lost the last 14 times they've visited Sporting CP in the league and also not managed a win against them at Estádio José Alvalade in any of their last 18 league games.
Nuno Santos has scored in each of Sporting CP's last 2 home games against Boavista.
With only Antonio Adán (Thigh) and Gonçalo Inácio (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Rúben Amorim will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Boavista manager Ricardo Paiva ahead of this clash, with César Dutra (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Paiva a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
