Prediction

  • AFS picked up a valuable point from their trip to Vila do Conde last time out. They performed well in the first game under new coach Petit and will look to surprise Sporting at home.
  • Sporting were eliminated from the Champions League in midweek after a 3-0 aggregate loss to Dortmund. Rui Borges rested some key players, which might be important for Sunday's game.
  • Sporting have had several injuries, but fatigue management seems to have worked well in midweek. Given the Lions' technical superiority, they can be expected to take all three points here.
