Late Saturday evening in Lisbon, the local Sporting will test Moreirense in the match of the ninth round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Your attention is invited to the forecast for this meeting.
Sporting
Despite an unconvincing start in the Champions League, Sporting have been doing well in the domestic arena for the past five weeks. The Lions, albeit modestly, but still won in the last three rounds, defeating Maritima at home (1:0), and beating Estoril (1:0) and Aroka (2:1) on the road. After the October international break, Sporting defeated Os Belenenses in the cup match (4:0), and this Tuesday also coped with Besiktas in Turkey (4:1), getting the first points in the Champions League, with a high probability of securing for themselves, at least, an exit to the Europa League playoffs.
"Moreirense"
Moreirense is traditionally focused on the struggle for survival in the elite Portuguese league. So far, he is in 14th place, two points ahead of the danger zone of transition matches. So far, Joao Henriques' team has managed to win only one match in the current championship. This happened after a crushing away defeat against Porto (0:5) – in the round before last, Aroka was outplayed. In the last round, the "white-green" played a draw with "Maritimo" (0:0) on the road, and last week only in extra time managed to break the resistance of "Oriental Dragon" in the cup match (3:2).
