But the league leaders, looking for their first title since 2012-13 with rivals Benfica having won it in all four years since, are only five points above this evening’s visitors. This is the fourth time this season the two teams will lock horns. Dragons boss Sergio Conceicao believes the clash will be very important but not decisive in the title race – but could Sporting deliver a heavy blow by dealing them an unlikely defeat in this top-of-the-table encounter? The game will be played at the 50,000-seater Estadio do Dragao, where Porto have not lost in 30 league games. Forward Gelson Martins is suspended for the Lions while striker Bas Dost, with 27 goals this season, is a doubt.

Sporting CP, you’ve come to the right place.

Spectators evacuate the stands following security instructions during the first part of the Portuguese league football match between GD Estoril Praia and FC Porto at the Antonio Coimbra da Mota stadium in Estoril on January 15, 2018 According to a report in sports daily A Bola — who said an anonymous complaint had been made to police on Thursday — officials from the two clubs had met in a Lisbon hotel to negotiate the result of the match played to a completion on February 21. In the days following the game they received a payment of some 730,000 euros ($900,000), A Bola said. The game had been abandoned at half-time in January due to fears over an unsafe stadium at Estoril, near Lisbon, with Porto trailing 1-0. Francisco Marques, Porto’s communications director, then took to social media to explain that there had been transfers of money towards several clubs including Estoril. However, he said these had been made to honour debts from transfers of two players whose rights belonged in part to Estoril.
