In the 26th round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, the league leaders Sporting CP will host Famalicão at home on March 15, 2025, at 20:30 at the Estádio José Alvalade stadium. The match is of particular importance for the home team, as a victory would further increase their lead in the race for the championship title.
Team performance
Sporting CP currently lead the league with 59 points, three ahead of second-placed Benfica, who have played one match less. The green and whites have been in excellent form recently, having won three games in a row: a 2-0 win over Gil Vicente in the Taca de Portugal, followed by 3-1 victories over Estoril Praia and Casa Pia in the league. These results are particularly remarkable as they had previously gone five games without a win in all competitions.
Famalicão They are in 9th place in the table with 34 points, eight wins, ten draws and seven losses. They have won four of their last seven matches, including a 1-0 win against Rio Ave in the last round. The team's defense is outstanding, as they have kept six clean sheets in their last seven matches, the best in the league during this period.
Important missing items
THE Sporting CP Joao Simoes and Daniel Bragança are still missing from the squad due to injury and are not expected to return until next season. Nuno Santos, Pedro Goncalves, Jeremiah St. Juste and Eduardo Quaresma are all doubtful, all with minor injuries. On the positive side, Hidemasa Morita has recovered from his muscle injury and has already come on as a substitute in the previous match, so he is expected to be back in the starting line-up.
THE Famalicão There are no significant injured or suspended players in the team, so head coach Hugo Oliveira can field his strongest team.
Tactical analysis
THE Sporting CP The team is expected to use a 3-4-3 formation, with Francisco Trincão, Viktor Gyökeres and Arthur Gomes in the attacking line. Hidemasa Morita and Morten Hjulmand will control the game in midfield, while Sebastián Coates will lead the back formation in the defensive axis. The team's strength is its possession-based attacking game, in which the full-backs also actively participate.
THE Famalicão The team is expected to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Sorriso in the attacking midfielder position and Jhonder Cádiz in the striker position. Gustavo Assunção and Zaydou Youssouf are responsible for the defensive duties in midfield, while Riccieli and Alexandre Penetra form the inner defensive duo in defence. The guests' strengths are their solid defense and quick counterattacks, which they can exploit to threaten Sporting's goal.
Weather conditions
The weather in Lisbon is expected to be pleasant during the match, with temperatures around 18°C and minimal precipitation. Wind speeds will be low, so the weather will not significantly affect the course of the game.
