Like every year, the three major clubs in the Portuguese championship are engaged in a thrilling battle in the race for the title. FC Porto, Sporting Portugal and Benfica Lisbon are four points on the podium in the standings, after nine contested days. But if the Dragons lead the way, the reigning champion has the opportunity to temporarily take control of the league this Friday evening.
To do this, Sporting will have to hold their ground by winning against Alverca while improving their goal difference to get past Porto (kick-off at 9:15 p.m.). A challenge largely within the ropes of the Leões, against an opponent stuck in the middle of the table, in twelfth place. Galvanized by its victory in the Champions League against Olympique de Marseille (2-1), Sporting will then be able to plunge back into their European events with a trip to Turin to challenge Juventus on Tuesday (9 p.m.).
The expected compositions:
Sports :Silva; Araujo, Inacio, Diomande, Vagiannidis; Hjulmand, Simoes; Trincao, Pote, Quenda; Suarez
Alverca: In Gomes; Meupiyou, S Gomez, Naves; Chissumba, Abdulai, Amorim, Touaizi; Figueiredo, Marezi, Lincoln
Where to watch the match?
This match between Sporting and Alverca will be broadcast this Friday evening on beIN SPORTS 10, from 9:15 p.m. It will also be possible to watch it on the group’s streaming platform, beIN Connect.
