PREDICTION
Santa Clara rejected final victory against Maritimo, which extended their winless run to six games in the Primeira Liga.
Despite beating Moreirense, Sporting failed to impress and was followed by a loss to Lask Linz in the Europa League. However, Silas played his team on Thursday and is expected to launch a stronger squad here.
The visitors had a much better team and will likely benefit from the run poorly Santa Clara shapes to get the three points here.
Prediction: Santa Clara 1 2 Sporting CP
