Chaves will host Sporting at the Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira on Monday in another round of the Primeira Liga campaign. The home side have had mixed results this season but have particularly struggled with results of late, although they remain hopeful of a top-half finish at the end of the season. They played out a goalless draw against Vizela in their last league outing and created chances to get on the scoresheet but failed to convert them.
Chaves sit ninth in the league table with 26 points from 20 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Monday. Sporting have bounced back from their sluggish start to the season and are now on the hunt for Champions League football. They were beaten 2-1 by defending champions Porto in their last league outing before playing out a 1-1 draw against Midtjylland in their UEFA Europa League playoff clash on Thursday.
Chaves are on a run of back-to-back unbeaten outings but have won just one of their last 10 games across all competitions. They have won just one of their last five games on home turf and could struggle here.
Sporting are winless in their last two games after picking up four wins from their previous five matches. They have lost just one of their last six away games across all competitions and should come out on top here.
Prediction: Chaves 1-2 Sporting
This match will start from 12:30 am
This match will take place on 21 February 2023
Chaves will be without 25-year-old full-back Bruno Langa, who will serve a one-game ban after crossing the yellow card threshold with his booking against Vizela.
On the injury front, Campelos will be unable to call upon the services of Jonathan Arriba (muscle), Luther Singh (muscle) and Hector Hernandez (knee), who are all recuperating from injuries.
Nigerian midfielder Nwankwo Obioro has missed each of the last two matches through a muscle problem, while Joao Correia has also been sidelined through injury.
Meanwhile, Sporting Lisbon will be without midfielder Daniel Braganca, who has been out of action since last May when he sustained a cruciate ligament rupture.
Hidemasa Morita is set to sit out his third consecutive game through a muscle problem, while Portuguese youngster Dario Essugo picked up a muscle injury in December.

We say: Chaves 0-2 Sporting Lisbon
Sporting Lisbon have put together a fine run of form away from home, claiming four wins and one draw in their last six matches. Given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, we are backing the Leoes to claim all three points.
Tip 1 – Result: Sporting
Tip 2 – Goals – Over/under 2.5 – Over 2.5 goals (Five of the last six matches between the two sides have produced more than 2.5 goals)
