Sporting CP are back at the top of the Primeira Liga summit owing to Benfica's blunder last time out. They are level on points with their rivals and can't afford to drop points if they are to retain their league title.
The Lions managed to return to winning ways in the league when they beat Santa Clara 1-0 on the road. This result was consolation for their disappointing match against Braga, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Rui Borges men have been in excellent form in the Primeira Liga. They are unbeaten in 16 games, recording ten wins and six draws. Their league performance at the Estadio Jose Alvalade has been impressive. So far, they remain unbeaten in eight games.
Sporting CP: Team News
Sporting CP will be without Conrad Harder for this match. The 20-year-old forward who has scored five goals and provided four assists was shown a red card deep in stoppage time in the last match against Santa Clara.
Nuno Santos, who has missed 40 matches because of a Patellar tendon rupture, is expected to return on May 31. Joining him on the injury table is Daniel Braganca, Joao Simoes, and Hidemasa, all ruled out with injury
Matheus Reis was not in the starting lineup against Santa Clara, but he was given minutes in that match off the bench and impressed. He is set to take over Eduardo Quaresma's place here.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (3-4-3): Silva; Diomande, Inacio, Reis; Quenda, Debast, Hjulmand, Fresneda; Pote, Gyokeres, Trincao
⛔️ Out: Nuno Santos, Hidemasa, Joao Simoes, Daniel Braganca, Conrad Harder (suspended).

Moreirense: form and statistics
Form: LWDWD
Moreirense secured their first league win against Sporting CP for the first time in 22 years when they beat the reigning champions 2-1 at home in the reverse fixture. They head into this clash, seeking to cause another upset by completing a league double over their opponents.
Moreirense are tenth in the league standings with 35 points. Their bid for a top-eight finish this season suffered a huge setback when they slumped to a 2-0 home defeat against Rio Ave.
Before this setback, they were on a five-match unbeaten run, recording three draws and two wins. Their away performance has not been convincing. They have won just one of their last nine games (D2, L6). However, they come into this match unbeaten in their last two.
Moreirense: Team News
Moreirense continues to be without long-term absentees Hernani (missed 41 matches) because of an ankle sprain and Guilherme Liberato (missed 30 matches) because of torn knee ligaments.
Head coach Cristiano Bacci suffered a huge blow after their first choice striker Guilherme Schettine was suspended in their last match against Rio Ave. Ivo Rodrigues is likely to start, but there are some doubts about that with the name Yan Lincon Farias de Sousa popping up.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Kewin; Frimpong, Marcelo, Maracas, Pinto; Ofori, Ismael, Alanzinho; Benny, Rodrigues, Teguia
⛔️ Out: Hernani (ankle sprain), Guilherme Liberato (torn knee ligament), Guilherme Schettine (suspended).
👤 Head coach: Cristiano Bacci
