The Portuguese Championship will start this weekend. Sporting opens this Saturday at 4:30 pm (Brasília time), against Vizela, at Alvalade.
Where to watch: The match will not be broadcast in Brazil.
The hosts disappointed last season by finishing fourth in the competition. With that, the Lions will have to dispute the Europa League.
Coach Rubén Amorim preached optimism for this season. So much so that he put Sporting as a candidate for the title.
“Sporting is a candidate for the title, I feel that the team is capable, I feel it from day one. I have zero expectations, it’s game by game, but we are candidates from the first game”, declared the coach.
On the other hand, Vizela will try to surprise the Lions. The team stayed in the middle of the table after dreaming of the European leagues for part of the last season.
Already Benfica e Porto they only debut on Monday after deciding the Supercup. Defending champions Benfica visit Boavista. Porto also plays away from home, against Moreirense.
