Belenenses take on the visitors Sporting at “Estadio do Restelo” in the round three of the Portuguese League Cup Group stage. The match will be played in Lisbon on Friday, December 29th.
Belenenses currently stay in a horrible shape. Last time the club managed to win was on the 28th of October, having broken Moreirense with 3:0 scoreline in face of its supporters. The side has earned two points within the League Cup, having deserved two draws against Maritimo 1:1 and U. Madeira 0:0 while in the Primeira Liga Belenenses sit on the 11th place in table with just 17 points gained and 14-22 goal difference. Basing on the mentioned above, the following conclusion can be made: the team has lost its form, besides, both defense and offense also show disastrous competitive shape.

In their turn, Sporting feel rather comfortable in the League Cup, having smashed U. Madeira with 6:0 scoreline, but couldn’t beat Maritimo, having deserved only 0:0 draw instead. In general, the side demonstrates the great form as the club’s winning run has been lasting since the 16th of October. As for the Primeira Liga, “Leoes” currently occupy the second position in the standings with the same number of points collected as the leading FC Porto, having scored 32 goals for and only nine goals against. It should be noted that in December Sporting scored 16 goals while conceded the single one instead, meaning that at this point the club’s attacking line do its job exceptionally well.
The most recent head-to-head between Sporting and Belenenses ended with the minimal 1:0 triumph of the first one, however, in May Belenenses easily broke “Leoes”. The upcoming visitors are the evident favourites of the Cup fight and they are not likely to face any problems in the Friday clash against Belenenses.
Prediction for the match: Sporting to win.
