Sporting Lisbon Preview

Sporting Lisbon return to the José Alvalade looking to recover from a frustrating opening-day draw with Estrela Amadora. Rui Borges's side surrendered a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2, despite having started the campaign with four consecutive pre-season victories. Sporting will now be determined to produce a more controlled performance in front of their supporters. Their home record against Vitoria is particularly encouraging, with Sporting winning 13 of their last 15 meetings at the José Alvalade and each of their previous nine. Rodrigo Zalazar also made an immediate impact on his competitive debut, scoring and assisting, while Fotis Ioannidis found the net and remains an important attacking option.

Vitoria Guimaraes Preview

Vitoria Guimaraes travel to Lisbon looking to bounce back after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Arouca. Despite the result, they created a significant number of chances, registering 24 shots and an expected-goals figure of 2.28, suggesting that their attacking play was more effective than the final score indicated. Vitoria can also draw confidence from their recent meetings with Sporting, having avoided defeat in three of their last seven encounters. They famously defeated Sporting 2-1 in last season's Taca da Liga, while Alioune Ndoye has already shown that he can trouble the Lions after scoring twice against them in the previous campaign.

We Say

Sporting should be highly motivated after letting victory slip away on the opening weekend, and their outstanding home record in this fixture gives them another major advantage. Vitoria possess enough attacking quality to cause problems, particularly on the counter, but Sporting's superior depth and home dominance should make them the more likely side to control the match.
