Missing Players and team news:
Moreirense remain without several players through injury, as midfielder Pedro Nuno and defender Pedro Amador both remain out of contention. Meanwhile, centre-midfielder Sori Mane will also remain out, having missed the entirety of the season through injury. However, they will welcome young forward Filipe Soares back to action, after he served a suspension last time out for accumulating five league yellow cards. Since breaking into the side, Manchester City loanee Nahuel Ferraresi has impressed at centre-back alongside Lazar Rosic. Sporting will have the major boost of the return of their captain Sebastian Coates, who served a suspension in the last game for accumulating five league yellow cards. They will also welcome experienced defender Joao Pereira back to action, after he served a suspension last time out for a red card shown against Tondela, when he was dismissed despite not making it onto the pitch. Despite a relative dip in his form in front of goal recently, Pedro Goncalves remains at the top of the Primeira Liga scoring charts with 15 goals from 22 games, while also registering four assists. He could be joined by Paulinho, who recently returned from injury after his January deadline day move from Braga, while Tiago Tomas could complete the three-man front line, having excelled in his first season in the senior team.
