Sporting host Estoril Praia at the Jose Alvalade on Monday (February 27) in the Primeira Liga. The hosts have had mixed results this season but remain on course for UEFA Champions League football. Sporting returned to winning ways in the league last weekend with a 3-2 win at Chaves before thrashing Midtjylland 4-0 in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League knockout playoff clash in midweek.
Sporting are fourth in the league table with 41 points from 21 games. Estoril, meanwhile, have endured a difficult campaign but remain hopeful of retaining their top-flight status for another season. They lost 3-1 to a clinical Pacos de Ferreira side in their last league outing. Estoril could have no complaints after struggling to create enough noteworthy chances to change the result.

Sporting vs Estoril Praia Team News
Sporting Lisbon will be without Manuel Ugarte, who will serve a one-match suspension for crossing the yellow card threshold with his booking against Chaves last Monday.
In his absence of the 21-year-old midfielder, Hidemasa Morita, who has five goals to his name this season, will push for a starting role at the centre of the park.
On the injury front, Amorim will be unable to call upon Daniel Braganca, who continues his rehabilitation after suffering a cruciate ligament rupture last May.
Off the back of an injury-free outing against Pacos de Ferreira, Estoril Praia boast a clean bill of health and we expect Verissimo to name a similar XI on Monday.
