Sporting CP was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Europa League. Juventus was too strong.
The story so far in the Liga Portugal for Sporting CP at their home stadium (Estádio José Alvalade) is 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats.

Happy days for Sporting CP in their previous game, a fixture away at Farense that ended with a 3-2 victory. The attacker Gyokeres was announced as "man of the match" for Sporting CP with the rating of 9.24/10. Gyokeres scored two goals, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 7 times.

Previous to that game, a Liga Portugal home match hosting Rio Ave in a game that was won 2-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sporting CP perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sporting CP as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Sporting CP has won 0 of these, drawn 1 and lost 4.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Arouca are coming to town in three days.
