We said: Vizela 0-3 Sporting Lisbon

 The loss of several key players to international duty certainly has not seemed to affect Sporting Lisbon thus far, and we again see them having far too much for a struggling side on Thursday. With an abundance of quality in all departments, particularly going forward, Amorim's side should cruise to another victory in their bid to build a lead in the race for the Primeira Liga title.
