Sporting CP looks poised to continue their dominance over Estrela da Amadora as they gear up for their upcoming Liga Portugal match. With a history of 12 consecutive victories against Estrela, Sporting seems likely to seal an easy win. Star player Luis Suárez, with 24 goals in 25 appearances, is expected to be pivotal. Estrela, on a shaky run, hopes for an upset but faces an uphill battle. Backing Sporting to win is recommended, with Luis Suárez predicted as the top scorer.

HTH - Lions on Top


Sporting CP have won their previous 12 matches against Estrela da Amadora to lead 27-4 in the head to head. There have been eight draws, the last one coming in 2015.

Amadora Not Safe


Estrela da Amadora have won once since February, a 4-0 victory over Casa Pia. It was fully deserved, Rodrigo Pinho scoring twice and Abraham Marcus registering a goal and two assists.

Joao Nuno’s side couldn’t take that form to Madeira where they lost 2-0 to Nacional. They were ineffective up front and ended with 0.53 xG.

Amadora sit three points above the relegation play-off position with six games to play.

Sporting Still in the Title Race


Sporting recently won three consecutive matches, scoring 13 goals in the process. They beat Bodo/Glimt 5-0 in extra time to advance in the Champions League.

The Lions won 4-1 at Alverca with Pedro Gonçalves scoring twice. They trailed Santa Clara before running away with a 4-2 win, cutting the gap behind Porto to five points with a game in hand.

Rui Borges’ side went close in a 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday. Maxi Araújo hit the bar and Luis Suarez went close before the Gunners scored in added time.

The manager spoke after the defeat: “It was a bit of a setback considering everything we were capable of throughout the game. It was a balanced game above all else, even in terms of possession it ended up being quite even. Sporting had the best goalscoring opportunities.”

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Estrela da Amadora (4-2-3-1) Renan Ribeiro; Max Scholze, Luan Patrick, Bernardo Schappo, Bruno Langa; Eddy Doué, Kevin Hoog Jansson, Robinho; Abraham Marcus, Rodrigo Pinho, Jovane Cabral

Jovane Cabral could return to the starting side against his former club, replacing Ianis Stoica.

Sporting CP (4-2-3-1) Rui Silva; Iván Fresneda, Ousmane Diomande, Goncalo Inacio, Maxi Araújo; Morten Hjulmand, Daniel Bragança; Geny Catamo, Trincao, Pedro Gonçalves; Luis Suarez

Morten Hjulmand was suspended against Arsenal and returns here. Rui Borges could make some changes before the second leg in London, Daniel Bragança a chance to start.

Soulleymane Faye has hardly featured since joining the club in January, Borges saying: "The kid has grown, he's growing, but the context is different.

"He must be very happy to be where he is, it's to his credit, now he has to understand that he needs to have that patience, that natural growth."

Verdict

Sporting won 3-0 in Amadora last season and a similar result would be no surprise here. Luis Suarez is the top scorer in Liga Portugal and backed to score first.
