In my opinion Sporting is clear favorite of today's match up and they should be able to make comfortable win, maybe even with 2/3 goals margin.

So far Sporting played 6 matches in Primeira Liga against Santa Clara and they have perfect record against them as they won all 6 matches. In previous season Sporting won at this stadium 2:1. For sure they have big mental advantage.

Obviously there is huge difference between both teams in terms of quality, ambitions and potential. In current season Santa Clara conceded at least one goal in 14 of 16 league matches, they are second-worst defensive formation with 32 goals conceded. Is hard to imagine clean sheet for them today. Sporting scored at least one goal in all their Primeira Liga matches and 10 times scored more than one goal. Their firepower is really big, they have 6.3 shots on target per game so far. Santa Clara coming for this game without their two key defenders: Rafael Ramos and Villanueva (both played in last round match). This is huge blow for the team and should have very bad impact on their performance today. I see big possiblity for Sporting to score more than one goal today.

On the other hand is hard to see many goals for hosts. Sporting have one important missing at the back in comparison to the previous round - key defender Goncalo Inacio is unavailable, but even without him they still have many high quality options. Sporting have the best defensive formation in whole league - they conceded only 7 goals in 16 matches and they were able to keep clean sheet 10 times in the process! Santa Clara is not very creative team, they have only 3.3 shots on target per game (only two teams are worse than them in that department), they failed to score already in 5 matches in current season.

Sporting is much better team with the ball as they have 134 accurate passes per game more than Santa Clara. Sporting average ball possession in current season is 57.9%, Santa Clara only 46.1%. Sporting should be able to control middle zone without too many problems .

All in all, Sporting is simply much better team and they should be able to make comfortable win here. I trust them.

在我看来，里斯本竞技显然是今天比赛中最受欢迎的，他们应该能够轻松取胜，甚至可能有2/3的进球差距。

到目前为止，里斯本竞技在和圣克拉拉的比赛中打了6场，他们在对阵圣克拉拉的比赛中取得了完美的战绩，他们赢得了所有的6场比赛。上个赛季，里斯本竞技在这个体育场以2:1获胜。当然，他们有很大的心理优势。

很明显，这两支球队在质量、雄心和潜力方面有着巨大的差异。在本赛季的16场联赛中，圣克拉拉队有14场比赛至少丢了一个球，他们的防守阵型第二差，丢了32个球。很难想象他们今天能干净利落。在他们所有的甲级联赛中，里斯本竞技至少打进了一个球，并且有10次打进了一个以上的球。他们的火力真的很强大，到目前为止他们每场比赛有6.3次射正。圣克拉拉队在没有两名关键后卫的情况下迎来了这场比赛:拉斐尔·拉莫斯和维兰纽瓦(两人都参加了上一轮比赛)。这对球队来说是一个巨大的打击，应该会对他们今天的表现产生非常坏的影响。我认为今天里斯本竞技很有可能进一个以上的球。

另一方面，东道主很难看到多少进球。与之前的关键后卫贡卡罗·伊纳西奥相比，体育方面有一个重要的缺阵，但即使没有他，他们仍然有很多高质量的选择。竞技队拥有全联盟最好的防守阵型——他们在16场比赛中只丢了7个球，在此过程中他们有10次保持不失球!圣克拉拉队不是一支很有创造力的球队，他们场均只有3.3次射正(在这方面只有两支球队比他们差)，本赛季他们已经有5场比赛没有进球了。

里斯本竞技的控球能力要好得多，因为他们场均比圣克拉拉队多134次准确传球。本赛季的运动平均控球率为57.9%，而圣克拉拉只有46.1%。运动应该能够控制中间区域，没有太多的问题。

总而言之，里斯本竞技是一支更好的球队，他们应该能够在这里轻松取胜。我信任他们。
