**Lisbon, Portugal -** Sporting Lisbon, currently sitting atop the Portuguese Primeira Liga with a perfect record, are set to face off against struggling Estrela Amadora on Friday evening at the Estadio Jose Alvalade. This match could be the last for manager Ruben Amorim, who is heavily linked to the vacant Manchester United head coach position.
Sporting Lisbon are in fantastic form, having secured their place in the semi-finals of the Taca da Liga and boasting a 100% record in the league. They have been a dominant force, scoring 30 goals and conceding just twice in their opening nine games.
However, Estrela Amadora are facing a completely different story. They have won just one league game this season and are currently sitting in 16th place. Their recent form has been particularly poor, with four consecutive losses and ten goals conceded.
The big talking point surrounding this match remains Amorim’s future. The Portuguese manager is reportedly in talks with Manchester United and could be leaving Sporting Lisbon soon. If this is indeed his last match, he will be hoping to leave on a high note.
The match is expected to be a one-sided affair, with Sporting Lisbon heavily favored. Their home form has been exceptional, with an unbeaten run stretching back to the start of the year.
Key players to watch include Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres, who is on a hot streak, and Estrela’s Leonel Bucca, who is a doubt for the match due to injury.
**Predicted Lineup:**
**Sporting Lisbon:** Israel; Diomande, Debast, Inacio; Quenda, Braganca, Goncalves, Morita, Edwards, Trincao, Gyokeres
**Estrela Amadora:** Brigido; Lima, Drame, Ferro; Nilton, Veiga, Moreira, Cordeiro; Luiz, Cabral, Kikas
**Prediction:** Sporting Lisbon to win comfortably.
