📰 Team News: AVS

We think that AVS may well kick off with a 4-3-3 system for the game with Adriel Ramos, Mateus Pivo, Cristian Devenish, Paulo Vitor, Daniel Rivas, Gustavo Mendonca, Roni, Pedro Lima, Babatunde Akinsola, Nene and Oscar Perea.

📋 Team News: Sporting Lisbon

Sporting Lisbon boss Rui Borges has a number of players out of action. Nuno Santos (Hamstring injury), Fotis Ioannidis (Inner ligament injury), João Simões (Metatarsal fracture) and Iván Fresneda (Muscle injury) won’t be making appearances.

From our viewpoint, Sportinguistas might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Rui Silva, Eduardo Quaresma, Ousmane Diomande, Zeno Debast, Maximiliano Araujo, Daniel Braganca, Hidemasa Morita, Geny Catamo, Trincao, Pedro Goncalves and Luis Suarez.

💡 Prediction

Our pre-match assessment is that Sporting Lisbon have it within them to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

In contrast, AVS will not find it easy to get goals of their own but we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet here.

We’re tipping a controlled 1-3 margin for Sporting Lisbon come full-time.
