Command Analysis

Farense

Current form
Farense easily retained their place in the elite last season, finishing 10th in the table. However, as the first rounds of the new season showed, it will not be easy to repeat this success - so far, Jose Mota's team has not earned a single point. In the first round, the "lions" lost 1:2 to Moreirense on their home field, and in the last match, as expected, they were weaker than Rio Ave (0:1) away.
Disqualifications and injuries
Goalkeepers Luis Felipe and Kaik Perreira are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Farense have lost both matches this season
- Farense have lost their last nine matches against Sporting

Disqualifications and injuries
Morten Hulmann, Nuno Santos and Gerry Saint Juste are injured.

Sporting has confidently played the first rounds, having won two big victories and today will also clearly count on three points in the confrontation with crisis Farense. There is hardly any intrigue in this match - the Lions have a huge advantage in class, they managed to beat their opponents in the last nine matches, and the Portuguese champion has already gained solid form, it makes sense to give preference to the guests.
