Currently, Sporting CP rank 4th, while Paços de Ferreira hold 18th position. The hosts have recorded wins in their last two league outings, including a 2-1 away win over Famalicao last time around.
Francisco Trincão and Pedro Gonçalves scored twice in quick succession just before the halftime whistle to give them a decisive lead.

Sporting vs Pacos Ferreira Prediction
Leões have a solid record against the visitors and have not conceded a goal in their last five meetings. They have also kept six clean sheets in their last eight games across all competitions. They will have home advantage in the game and are expected to produce a dominant display.
Pacenses have struggled to get going this season and have lost five games in a row. They are not expected to cause any problems for the hosts, as they have scored just seven goals in 13 league games. We expect Sporting to secure a comfortable win and the odds of a clean sheet also look good.

Sporting vs Pacos Ferreira Team News
Off the back of a superb team display against Braga, Amorim could name an unchanged XI on Thursday, meaning that we could see a front three of Edwards, Trincao and Paulinho. Goncalves has been on song from deep in recent weeks and we expect the 24-year-old to team up with Manuel Ugarte behind the front three, while Pedro Porro and Nuno Santos occupy the wing-back roles.
On the injury front, Sporting Lisbon will take to the pitch without Portuguese midfielder Daniel Braganca, who suffered a cruciate ligament rupture back in May. He is joined on the Leoes’ injury table by fellow countryman Luis Neto, who has been out of action since September, while Jeremiah St. Juste is set to sit out his fifth straight game through a knee injury.
Pacos de Ferreira, on the other hand, will be without long-term absentee Joao Vigario, who is yet to feature this year after sustaining an ACL injury in August 2021. Erick Ferigra is back from suspension and will push for a return to the XI after the 23-year-old defender missed the trip to Braga last time out following his red card against Trofense on December 3.
