THE PREDICTION

Santa Clara pulled themselves up into mid-table safety with an eye-catching 3-0 win at home to Pacos de Ferreira on Saturday and that should take a lot of the pressure off this most difficult league fixture. The visitors have lost just two matches from their last seven but are unlikely to challenge the relentless pursuit of the title by runaway leaders Sporting Lisbon. The hosts were held to a fairly harmless 0-0 at Porto on Sunday but re still nine points clear at the top and remain unbeaten this season, with that result only their fourth draw so far. Sporting Lisbon have conceded just once in their last six at home in the league and look good for a win to nil here.
