Sporting CP will host Estrela Amadora at Jose Alvalade on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Primeira Liga campaign. The hosts will be confident to continue their stellar form and stand a chance of finishing the matchday atop the league table.
Sporting’s last league outing ended in dramatic fashion as Morten Hjulmand scored the winner in the 94th minute to hand Rui Borges’ side a 2-1 comeback victory away at Santa Clara and keep them three points behind league leaders Porto.
Thanks for the submission!
The defending champions have since picked up back-to-back 3-0 wins in the domestic cup and the Champions League to extend their unbeaten run to 10 games and will be looking to carry on in similar form this weekend.
Estrela Amadora, on the other hand, are having an a perhaps unsurprisingly poor season as they sit in 13th place with two wins from 11 games and could end up in the relegation zone should they fail to get a result this weekend.
The visitors shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Nacional last time out, but will need to turn things up a notch when they make the trip to face one of the league’s best sides.
Sporting CP vs Estrela Amadora Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The two teams have met on only five previous occasions, going into the weekend with Sporting winning each of those games.

Sporting CP vs Estrela Amadora
Leões are overwhelming favorites going into the weekend clash due to the gulf in class between the two teams. They will receive an additional boost from their home advantage and will only need to stay switched on to secure a comfortable win on Sunday.
Tricolores have a mountain to climb if they are to avoid defeat against the defending champions and will likely focus on avoiding a blowout loss.
