Sporting CP Lisbon vs Uniao Leiria Match Preview
The end of a torrid season cannot come quick enough for Sporting, whose dreadful performance last weekend at Rio Ave extended a miserable run of just one win in ten matches in all competitions.
All the news surrounding the Lisbon club has been connected to the upcoming presidential elections. The intimation from more than one candidate that should they win the vote they will tear up the present squad will have done little to raise morale among a squad, among whom confidence is already at a low ebb.
Sporting’s saving grace this weekend may be the fact they are playing a side in an equally fragile state of mind. Leiria have won only one out of their last nine games, scoring a just two goals during that run.
