The curtain falls on the Liga Portugal season tonight and the stakes could not be higher at the Estádio José Alvalade.
For Sporting CP, the mission is clear: secure second spot. Currently sitting two points above bitter rivals Benfica, a victory guarantees a direct spot in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
Failing to win could hand that golden ticket away. Armed with Luis Suarez who leads the league’s most lethal attack, Sporting will look to unleash their offensive fireworks one last time on home turf.
Gil Vicente aren't visiting Lisbon to be background characters in Sporting's party. Sitting 6th, the Roosters are hunting for a monumental upset and hope results elsewhere give them a ticket to the UEFA Conference League.
