Sporting Lisbon vs Boavista Match Analysis & Prediction
17/03/2024 11:30 pm
Still diasppointed with their midweek Europa League exit, Sporting Lisbon play host to Boavista in round 26 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Sunday night.
Sporting were eliminated from the Europa League on Thursday as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Atalanta BC in the second leg of their last-16 tie at the Gewiss Stadium, having played out a 1-1 draw in Portugal on March 6.
Ruben Amorim’s side now return to Primeira Liga action, where they claimed a 3-0 victory over Arouca at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca last Sunday through goals from Geny Catamo, Morten Hjulmand and in-form striker Vitor Gyokeres.
The Lions have now won all but one of their last 11 league matches – with a 3-3 draw with Rio Ave at the Estadio dos Arcos in February 25 being the exception – a run which has put them on course to secure their first league title since 2021.
With 62 points picked up from 24 matches, Sporting currently lead the Primeira Liga standings, one point above second-placed Benfica, although with one game in hand.
Meanwhile, Boavista resumed their push for a top-half finish as they secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Moreirense when the sides met at the Estadio do Bessa last Saturday.
Ricardo Paiva’s side have now won seven of their 25 league matches so far, while losing 11 and securing seven draws to collect 28 points and sit ninth in the table, level on points with eighth-placed Gil Vicente.
While Boavista will look to pick up where they left off last weekend, they have struggled to get going on their travels, where they have failed to win their last four matches, picking up just two points from the last 12 available.
Sporting Lisbon vs. Boavista Head to head
In the 49 previous meetings between these two teams, Sporting have claimed 30 victories while Boavista have won seven, and they have drawn in 12. Boavista have scored 34 goals and conceded 83 in the process.

Sporting Lisbon Team News
Pedro Goncalves was forced off injured midway through the first half against Atalanta on Thursday and the forward is a major doubt for Sporting here.
Should he fail to shake off the injury, Daniel Braganca should come into the side, teaming up with Danish midfielder Hjulmand at the centre of the park.
