Match Preview

Sporting targets the coronation in the championship and in the Portugal Cup. The path taken by the Lions is for the moment the good by being leaders of the Liga Portugal Betclic but in a fierce competition with Benfica who will have played a late match the day before and which could return to points. In this competition, Sporting struck Gil Vicente in the 1/4 final 0-1 and especially Santa Clara in the 1/8th finals in an unprecedented difficulty victory 1-2 after extra time. Last weekend, as part of the championship, Sporting recorded a fourth successive victory by typing Estrela on the 0-3 road quickly reduced to ten after the half hour of play. Before that, Sporting had taken over on Famalicao 3-1, against Casa Pia on road 1-3 and against Estoril at home 3-1. On the road, including three successive defeats in the league on the lawns of Estoril 2-1, Famalicao 1-0 and Casa Pia last weekend 2-1.

Before leaving for the break, Rio Ave had stood up to Benfica, in vain, it is a defeat with the final whistle 2-3. In the 1/4 final, Rio Ave inherited a rather lenient draw with a confrontation in front of a D3 ST.JOAO VER 2-1. More difficult draw in 1/8th finals with success on the lawn of Casa Pia precisely 1-3.

Still on the flank, the important Braganca should not play this part, any more than the crucial Pedro Gonvalves (4 goals, 3 assists in just 8 league appearances), the Japanese international Morita, without forgetting the attacker Nuno Santos and the very young mid -18 years Joao Simoes (1 goal in 9 appearances with the A). Obviously, the Viktor Gyökeres machine (30 goals, 7 assists in the championship only) will be present on him which remains on 8 goals supplement 3 assists on his last 6 club games including a double in Estrela last weekend. It is a practically complete workforce that should move to the lawn of José Alvalade. However, we are obliged to mention the possible absences of the Argentines Tobias Medina and the defender replacing Francisco Petrasso, both injured.

Rio Ave can count on his strong man Clayton, 3rd top scorer in the championship with a total of 13 achievements. Scorer last weekend in Casa Pia, Tiago Morais (21) is not to be outdone with 4 championship achievements.

Summary: Sporting is going head to head with Rio Ave starting on 3 Apr 2025 at 19:15 UTC . The match is a part of the Taça de Portugal .
