FC Famalicão vs Sporting CP

Famalicão host Sporting CP at the Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho on 13 September looking to halt a rocky start to the season, while the visitors want to stay close to the Primeira Liga's early pace-setters. Sporting sit second after four rounds, just a few points off top spot, while Famalicão are down in 13th under new head coach Carlos Carvalhal, still chasing their first win of the campaign. Form heavily favours the visitors. Sporting have scored 16 goals in their last five matches, including wins over Rio Ave, Alverca and Guimarães, with Luis Suárez leading the line prolifically since Viktor Gyökeres moved to Arsenal. Famalicão have managed just three goals in five games, held scoreless by Gil Vicente and beaten by both Marítimo and Santa Clara. History offers little hope either: Sporting CP have not lost to Famalicão in their last 13 meetings. Our prediction: 1-3
