Both teams have been eliminated from the Portuguese Cup. Sporting lost in Madeira against Maritimo, in a game where the coach changed many players and the team became weaker. Rio Ave lost at home against Estoril and did not play well.

Yesterday Sporting had 3 cases of Covid 19 in the squad, Nuno Mendes, Neto and Sporar. For me the most important absence is that of Nuno Mendes the other 2 players are easy to replace. Despite Sporting being eliminated from the cup, this team is having a good championship and they are in first place and that does not take away the confidence of the team.

Sporting remains the team that is playing best and has the advantage of playing before Porto and Benfica that will face each other and Sporting can earn points over one or both direct rivals in the fight for the title of champion.

Rio Ave this year is weaker, lost very important players, mainly the striker Mehdi Taremi who transfer to Porto and the strikers who arrived in the team do not have much quality. This week he lost Lucas Piazón, a player who has a lot of quality. The team is on the market and the coach wants strikers.

In the middle of the week the coach also rested some players in the game for the cup but in that game the team was bad, especially in the first half and deserved to be eliminated.

Diego Lopes is in doubt.

Sporting is a big favorite to win this game, it's in a good moment and the players are very confident. Sporting when playing at their stadium is very strong and few teams manage to pass this stadium. Braga, who is one of the best teams, lost 2-0 and the result was just because Sporting was effective. Rio Ave this year is weaker, when he plays outside his stadium he uses a very defensive strategy and the defenders have been bad. Sporting will dominate the game, will have more opportunities and if they continue with the good performances they will win the game.

葡萄牙杯中两支球队都被淘汰了。里斯本输给马里蒂莫的比赛中，教练更换了很多球员，球队变得更弱了。他们在主场输给了埃斯托利尔，踢得不好。

昨天里斯本有3人感染了新冠病毒，努诺·门德斯，内托和斯帕尔。对我来说最重要的缺阵是努诺·门德斯，其他两名球员很容易被替换。尽管杯赛被淘汰出局，但这支球队在联赛中取得了不错的成绩，并取得了第一名，这并没有削弱球队的信心。

里斯本仍然是表现最好的球队，并且有优势，因为他们在波尔图和本菲卡的比赛前比赛，在争夺冠军中，里斯本可以提前比两个直接对手获得更多积分。

今年里奥阿维比较弱，失去了非常重要的球员，主要是转会到波尔图的前锋塔雷米，而来到球队的前锋实力平平。这周他们失去了卢卡斯·皮亚松，一个很有实力的球员。在转会市场上，教练想要前锋。

在周中的时候，教练也让一些球员在比赛中休息，但是在那场比赛中，球队很糟糕，尤其是在上半场，他们应该被淘汰。

迭戈·洛佩斯可能会缺席比赛。

里斯本是赢得这场比赛的热门，他们处在一个很好的时刻，球员们都很有信心。里斯本主场比赛时表现非常好，很少有球队能从这个体育场带走积分。布拉加，最好的球队之一，0-2输了。里奥阿维今年比较弱，当他们在客场踢球的时候，球队使用了非常严密的防守策略，但防守质量平平。里斯本将主宰比赛，会有更多的机会，如果他们继续保持良好的表现，他们将赢得比赛。
