Preview

Sporting CP were pegged back by a stoppage-time Goncalo Inacio own goal last weekend as their winning streak came to an end against Famalicao. Rui Borges' side had won five straight in all competitions before that result, but have now dropped to third in the standings.

Arouca were unable to take advantage of Sorriso's late red card in gameweek six as they suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Santa Clara. After winning back-to-back Liga Portugal games to start the campaign, the visitors have won just one of their last four.
