Santa Clara Preview – Can Santa Clara avoid slip?
Santa Clara were handed another defeat last time out in the Portuguese top flight when they suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Pacos Ferreira which became the hosts’ seventh defeat in 12 games.
Although Santa Clara have recorded recent home wins against Arouca and Vitoria Guimaraes, the seven losses have far outweighed their minimal success and the hosts have now dropped down to just a point above the relegation play-off spot.
Santa Clara have lost just three of their last 16 matches at home but they face a tough task against high-flying Sporting CP on Friday night.
Sporting CP Preview – Can Sporting make it 12 wins on trot?
An impressive 11-match winning streak in the Portuguese top flight have helped Sporting Lisbon into 2nd place with just goal difference separating them from the league leaders, Porto, but all three points on Friday night at Santa Clara would see Sporting go top of the division.
Even more impressive is the fact that Sporting have kept clean sheets in eight of these 11 victories while also picking up five wins on the trot on their travels as well and the visitors look like they mean business ahead of this upcoming encounter.
Sporting CP have lost just one of their last 24 away games in the Liga Portugal.
