The Liga Portugal match between Sporting Lisbon and Porto will take place at Estadio Jose Alvalade on Tuesday at 1:45 am IST.
In a highly anticipated matchup in gameweek 14 of the Primeira Liga, Sporting Lisbon and Porto will clash on Monday at Estadio Jose Alvalade. The competition at the top of the Primeira Liga is intense as both teams share the lead with 31 points each after the initial 13 matches.
Sporting Lisbon concluded the Europa League group stages positively with a 3-0 victory over Sturm Graz, securing a spot in the knockout stages. However, they suffered a costly 3-2 loss to Vitoria Guimaraes, losing their lead in the league. With Benfica and Braga closing in, Goncalo Inacio and Nuno Santos contributed goals, but Dani Silva’s late winner dashed their hopes. Sporting has already surrendered the top spot this season, losing 2-1 to Benfica. Despite the upcoming challenging match, Sporting gains confidence from their home record—seven consecutive wins with two or more goals scored in most matches.
Porto enters the match after a remarkable 5-3 Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk, securing a spot in the last 16. The Dragons, the only Primeira Liga side advancing in the Champions League, topped Group H. Sergio Conceicao’s team secured a 3-1 league win against Casa Pia last weekend, marking a three-game winning streak. Porto has excelled on the road, earning 18 out of 21 possible points and maintaining a three-match winning streak. Despite Sporting being the favorite, Porto won the last encounter at this venue 2-1 and remains unbeaten against Sporting in their last 13 league meetings since August 2016.
Sporting Lisbon probable starting lineup: Adan, Esgaio, Diomande, Inacio, Matheus, Morita, Hjulmand, Paulinho, Pote, Gyokeres, Edwards
Porto probable starting lineup: Costa, Sanchez, Pedro, Pepe, Mendes, Jaime, Varela, Eustaquio, Pepe, Taremi, Evanilson
