cut n paste from over seas...LOL :wink:
The home side is desperate to avoid relegation but the goal seems difficult and not even the new manager brought big hope to the players that are frustrated with the season they are doing. But the manager is confident, according to him “our mission is just a 007 one, impossible but that we can solve in the end”. Well, looking at the shedule I see no good things for Moreirense, they are in a really bad serie of results, they lost 4 of the last 5 matches, come from 3 consecutive defeats and they don’t score for 5 games already. Against Sporting the goal is to get points at all cost, for that reason manager Jorge Jesus is preparing a very defensive team, they will play with 5 defenders, centralback Orlando(df) will join the defence and Fernando(str) that played in the midfield last weekend should leave the team.
Luis Vouzela(mf) that is back after injury should return to the team replacing offensive Eriverton(mf).
As for Sporting, 1 month ago they were giving up, the title was a mirage, now they are 4pts behind Benfica and if they win tomorrow they get 1pt behind and still have to play with Benfica. Sporting is in great form in the league and in Uefa, they come from 3 consecutive wins for the league and they just qualified for Uefa semi-finals, the players and staff are highly confident and now, more than never, they believe in the league tittle too. Even with some key players out Sporting never seizes surprising, they make great performances and the squad doesn’t feel the absence of those players, Joao Moutinho(mf) the biggest surprise in Portugal and old Pedro Barbosa(mf) had no place in this team, now they are always an option, Sporting have 6 great players to use in a midfield where they use only 4 and it’s in the midfield Sporting strenght.
Sporting weaker sector was always the defense and they are always having problems there, tomorrow they will have it again, 3 centralbacks are unavailable, meaning there is only one left, Polga(df). Beto(df) is out suspended and Hugo(df) and Enakarhire(df) are injured. So the option to play as centralback will be Miguel Garcia(df), the normal sub for the rightback spot, he was centralback when he was younger and this season he already played as centralback recently in the game with Porto, when Enakarhire(df) got injured.
In the midfield Pedro Barbosa(mf) is doubtful and will probably seat on bench so this time it’s Sa Pinto(wing) who is playing. Hugo Viana(mf) returns to the team after missing the Uefa game. In the attack the ‘matador’ returns to the team, Liedson(str) will pair with Douala(wing).
In comparison with the Newcastle game, they are stronger in the midfield and attack and weaker in the defense. But not much troubles are expected in the back.
Last season Sporting was beaten at Moreirense by 1-0 with a late goal after being dominant in the entire game, I expect the same thing tomorrow, Sporting should totally control the game while Moreirense will try to maintain the draw. But Sporting players morale and will to win should be enough to pass Moreirense defence and score, I really can’t see Sporting not winning under this circunstances, I like Sporting -3/4. |
