Sporting CP Preview – Can Sporting make winning start at home?
Sporting resume their Primeira Liga campaign this weekend with a home fixture against Pacos Ferreira and the hosts will be keen to get off to a winning start in this first home match since the lockdown was imposed back in March.
Last weekend, Sporting earned a point in a 2-2 draw away from home at Vitoria Guimaraes while last time out at their Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon, the hosts grabbed all three points with a 2-0 win against Primeira Liga strugglers, Desportivo Aves.
Having also won their last four home matches on the trot with victories over Maritimo, Portimonense, Boavista and Aves, Sporting CP will be in confident mood as they seek to consolidate their top four spot and further improve a home record which stands at 8-0-4 19/12.
Pacos Ferreira Preview – Can Pacos Ferreira move away from relegation zone?
A vital 3-2 win away from home at Rio Ave in last weekend’s return to Portuguese top flight football saw Pacos Ferreira earn a valuable three points which has now put the visitors five points above the relegation zone ahead of this tough looking trip to high-flying Sporting CP.
Indeed, Pacos Ferreira have pulled themselves together in recent times in the Primeira Liga as they’ve won three of their last four matches overall which includes previous wins against Famalicao 2-1 at home and a 3-1 win on the road at Desportivo Aves.
However, although Pacos have posted wins in each of their last two matches away form home, their overall away record of 3-2-7 11/22 still doesn’t inspire much confidence in them getting a result at Sporting here this Friday and they look to have their work cut out to get anything out of this clash.
