Famalicao will host Sporting at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 Primeira Liga campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a largely solid league campaign and are pushing for yet another top-half league finish. They held on for a 2-2 draw against Porto in their last match, with team top scorer Jhonder Cadiz scoring a first-half brace before their opponents leveled the scores late in the game.
Famalicao sit eighth in the league table with 35 points from 28 games and will be looking to continue their strong run of form this week.
Sporting, meanwhile, have performed brilliantly this season and are now closing in on their first Primeira Liga title since 2021. They thrashed Gil Vicente 4-0 in their last match, scoring all four goals in the first half to record their 10th consecutive unbeaten outing against the Gilistas.
The visitors sit atop the Primeira Liga standings with 74 points picked up so far. They are seven points above second-placed Benfica and will be looking to widen that gap even further on Tuesday.
