Porto
If not for reaching the Champions League round of 16, this season for Porto could have been considered a complete failure. The "Dragons" currently hold the third position in the Primeira Liga, and if they lose to Sporting, they risk dropping further down as Braga is only behind Porto due to a worse goal difference. Despite their uncertain performance this season, Porto extended their contract with head coach Sergio Conceição for 4 more years on Thursday. This should have a positive impact on the players as there is now certainty for the future. In the previous round of the Primeira Liga, Porto won away against Casa Pia with a score of 2-1, and before that, they had a home victory against Vitoria Guimaraes with a score of 3-1.
Sporting Lisbon
Sporting is almost the new champion of Portugal, leading the tournament table by 7 points ahead of Benfica with 4 rounds to go. After the match against Porto, Sporting will play against three teams from the lower half of the table, so fans need not worry about their team maintaining the lead. Sporting approaches the match against Porto with a series of 8 consecutive wins in the Primeira Liga. The last time Ruben Amorim's team dropped points was on February 25th against Rio Ave. Sporting's last defeat in the Portuguese championship was back in the previous year, on December 9th, when they lost away to Vitoria Guimaraes with a score of 2-3.
