Sporting CP Lisbon vs Paços De Ferreira Match Preview
New Sporting coach Sá Pinto attempts to build on a positive start to his tenure as the Lions welcome Paços de Ferreira to the Alvalade on Sunday evening.
Sporting icon Sá Pinto was appointed head coach on Monday after the shock sacking of Domingos Paciência
Nevertheless, the club’s hierarchy took a huge gamble in firing Domingos, despite a string of poor results, given that the former Braga coach had been championed as an integral part of a long-term project.
The immediate effect was a positive result - if not performance - as Sporting rode their luck to come away from Legia Warsaw with a 2-2 draw in their Europa League clash on Thursday.
“The atmosphere among the players is good, healthy and full of hope. We all believe it is possible to do positive things and win games. Obviously, good results always bring a positive spirit,” said Pinto. “I want the players to continue to show a positive attitude.”
Sporting have a complete squad to choose from, with wingers Jeffren and Diego Capel having recovered from injury.
Paços de Ferreira also go into the match in a positive frame of mind. The modest northern club looked doomed to relegation just a few weeks ago, but new coach Henrique Calisto has overseen a remarkable upturn in the team’s fortunes.
Paços have won their last five games to pull clear of the relegation zone. “We will be going to the Alvalade without fear,” said Calisto.
Kick-off at 8.15 pm local time at the Alvalade stadium, Lisbon.
Sporting CP Lisbon vs Paços De Ferreira Match Report
It wasn't pretty, but Sporting got a vital win under their belts to keep alive their hopes of making a run for 3rd place and Champions League football next season.
New coach Sá Pinto started his tenure with a positive 2-2 draw away at Legia Warsaw on Thursday, and the three points earned against Paços de Ferreira should go some way to boosting the Lisbon club's brittle confidence. As on Thursday, the result was far better than the performance. It needed a Ricardo own goal shortly before half time to separate the sides.
Ricky van Wolfswinkel missed the chance to make the game safe for Sporting when he hit a poor penalty in the second half that was easily saved.
Indeed, it needed some fine goalkeeping from Portugal number one Rui Patrício to conserve Sporting's lead.
