Although their defensive solidity has been questioned, as they have conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, they have consistently found the net, scoring at least once in each of their last 10 league games. The team rarely struggles to take the lead, having scored the first goal in 21 of their last 25 league matches; 17 of these matches saw them maintain their advantage until the end. Notably, in the last 12 fixtures, they conceded 5 of their 9 goals between the 31st and 45th minutes.
Sporting’s team is showing signs of recovery, reflected in their recent results. The squad’s stability concerning injuries and suspensions has improved, largely due to key players, such as Gyokeres and Morita, regaining match fitness. The Swedish player has been particularly influential, as Sporting exhibits a stronger form. While their match against Gil Vicente was still a bit shaky, they displayed a more assertive performance against Estoril (3-1) and Casa Pia (1-3). As Rui Borges’s side prepares to host Famalicão, they are aware that they must avoid slip-ups, holding just a 3-point lead over Benfica, albeit having played one less match.

Oliveira, this team has showcased impressive defensive solidity, conceding only 1 goal in their last 5 matches. Famalicão possesses the potential to challenge Sporting CP effectively in Alvalade, providing a good benchmark for Sporting’s current recovery phase.
