In order to continue adding points that allow us to continue cutting differences with the first places, this Thursday one of the historical teams of Portuguese football such as Sporting Lisboa is preparing to visit the Estadio da Capital do Movel, when for the 9th day of the First League of Portugal visit a motivated Pacos de Ferreira.
Pacos de Ferreira:
Those led by Pepa have improved their performance a bit in recent days but this is not enough to leave the relegation zone.
And, last weekend they could not prevail their status as a homeowner and had to settle for a warm tie to zero goals against Rio Ave, adding four games without losing where two of them ended up in victories, that yes it is necessary to say three of these four games were for competitions different from the First League of Portugal as they are the Taca of Portugal and Taca da Liga.
And is that if we have to look at his game for the First League, the cast of Pacos de Ferreira has only added one victory in his eight games with another five ending in losses, but in the end he hopes that the results achieved in the different competitions motivate to the team to get a good result here and thus leave the penultimate place, and beware that winning the Lions the cast of Pacos de Ferreira igualarína in Maritime score that is located in eleventh place.
Sporting Lisboa :
For their part, those led by Leonel Pontes have also improved their performance in these last days and so last weekend they beat Vitória Guimaraes 3-1 to add their fourth victory in their last five official games, where we include two wins in the UEFA Europa League, such as 2-1 against LASK Linz of Austria and 1-0 against Rosenburg of Norway.
The victory against Vitória Guimaraes allows the lions to add their second consecutive victory in the Portuguese First League, and thus climb to fourth place, remaining at the moment with the last team that qualifies for UEFA competition, but yes, they are still seven points away from the leaders FC Porto and Benfica, so this Thursday Sporting Lisboa is obliged to continue on the road of victories and what better than before a Pacos de Ferreira who have won in the last six direct matches and even add eleven games Without falling to these, he also remains undefeated in his last five visits to this stage with four of them ending in victories.
