Famalicao Preview – Can Famalicao halt slide?
A disappointing sequence of 6 matches without a win in the Portuguese top flight seems to have undone all the good work Famalicao achieved earlier in the season as the hosts have dropped down to 7th place on the Primeira Liga ladder and they face a tough assignment on Tuesday night despite holding home advantage at their Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho.
Famalicao started the new Portuguese top flight season off with a bang as the hosts registered 6 wins from their opening 7 matches of the new term, but they’ve since been unable to sustain their great start, and recent matches have seen them slump to 6 matches without a win.
Defeats to Santa Clara, Vitoria Guimaraes 7-0 and 2-1 to Pacos de Ferreira has seen them slowly but steadily drop out of a possible top four finish and they now find themselves 6 points adrift of 4th placed visitors, Sporting CP, ahead of tonight’s encounter.
It’s therefore now or never for Famalicao if they’re to get their season back on track.
Sporting CP Preview – Can Sporting respond?
A heavy 4-1 defeat away from home in last week’s Europa League 2nd leg clash at Istanbul Basaksehir cost Sporting CP a place in the next round of the competition as the visitors were sent tumbling out and will now need to dust themselves off as they look to further consolidate their current top four spot in the Primeira Liga.
Sporting return to the domestic top flight action knowing they can’t afford to slip up here against Famalicao with the likes of 5th placed Rio Ave just 2 points behind them, but recent results have been encouraging for the visitors.
Sporting have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches overall in the Primeira Liga while picking up recent wins over Maritimo, Portimonense and Boavista, all of which were recorded on home turf at their Estádio José Alvalade.
Results away from home have been mixed though for the visitors as they possess an away record of 5-3-3 17/11, but they’ll no doubt be looking to take advantage of Famalicao’s recent slump in form as Sporting look to avenge their earlier 2-1 defeat at home to tonight’s opponents back in September.
