Insights:
  • Boavista have the most scored goals in the first half (12) in Liga Portugal
  • Sporting CP have not yet lost a game.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Europa League. That game was also an away game, at Raków Częstochowa. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
