On Tuesday night, Famalicao host Sporting at the Estadio Municipal 22 de Junho, in a big game in the fight for the European spots in the Primeira Liga.
The home side are enjoying a solid season under former Everton assistant head coach Joao Pedro Sousa, as they are currently seventh place in the Portuguese top-flight. However, the minnows are six points behind fourth-place Sporting, who occupy the last European spot in the Primeira Liga.
A 2-1 defeat against Pacos de Ferreira last time out means that Famalicao have failed to win in six league outings, picking up three draws and suffering three defeats.
The home side has endured a difficult campaign of late on home soil in their debut season in the Primeira Liga. In fact, Famalicao have recorded just one win in their last seven home matches in the league, having failed to win in their last four home games in the Portuguese top-flight.
Their home league games have been low-scoring of late, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four home matches.
Sporting are just two points clear of fifth-place Rio Ave in the fight for the European spots in the Primeira Liga. The teams behind the visitors will be waiting for the team from the capital to slip up. This game is a potential banana skin too.
The visitor's recent inconsistent form in the Primeira Liga has not helped their chances of maintaining a top-four position for the rest of the season. A 2-0 win over Boavista last time out in the Portuguese top-flight means that Sporting has won three of their last six league matches.
Sporting have also been inconsistent on their travels of late, winning three of their last six away games in the Portuguese top-flight.
Forebet predicts that the home side will record a victory in a high-scoring game to make up ground on the visitors in the race for the European spots.
