In their last match Sporting CP enforced their superiority over Arouca with a 3-0 away win.  

Manager Rúben Amorim will be delighted with his team's performances recently, having scored 22 goals in their last 6 games whilst conceding only 2.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 47 games in a row, and they're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.  

The continued consistency shown by Leões at Estádio José Alvalade is exceptional. They're unbeaten in their last 26 home league games and are currently on an impressive winning streak of 19 games on the trot.  

Viktor Gyökeres is the man of the moment right now and the toast of the fans, having notched up 10 goals in Sporting CP's last 6 league matches.

AVS will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Rio Ave.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Rio Ave had 17 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

Manager Vítor Campelos will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.  

Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
