Match facts
- A win at home for Sporting will see them go level with Braga (3rd in the league) on points, but trail on goal difference.
- The Lisbon club will play their first game of 2017. Their last game saw them end a two-game losing streak – three games in all competitions.
- Feirense sit in 15th spot with only 14 points, 16 less than their weekend opponents.
- Feirense have record five losses from their last six league games.
Will Sporting start the year with a win?
The Portuguese league resumed this weekend, with the top three clubs – Benfica, Porta, and Braga – playing their first game of 2017. On Sunday, Sporting – 4th in the league – will be in action.
Jorge Jesus’ boys have been handed a wonderful opportunity to gain ground in the standings. Only three points separate them from third spot, and five from second. Both Braga and Porto fell to 0-0 draws in their respective fixtures, meaning a win will see Leões slash those leads to zero and two points, respectively.
Unfortunately, Sporting have a few injury worries that might jeopardize their shot at victory. Firstly, Euro 2016 winner Rui Patricio is yet to return to the first-team, meaning Beto will continue in goal.
Adrien Silva is a doubt, and could miss this fixture. Bryan Ruiz performed abysmally mid-week and thus could see Joel Campbell move infield.
