Sporting CP v FC Famalicão
Sporting CP v Futebol Clube Famalicão Sunday February 15th, 2026 Matchday 22 Estadio Jose Alvalade The warm up It's Saturday night as I write and I'm still trying to recover from Thursday nights 3-2 laboured win over the leagues bottom side AVS after extra time in the Taça de Portugal. That's the third time the lions have gone to extra time in this season's competition and the third time in doing so that they've recorded a 3-2 victory. Sporting or course the current holders after their win in the Dérbi after extra time in May though that at least was 3-1. Against Paços they recorded 39 attempts on goal over the course of 120 minutes. Thursday night they had 30 and missed all 4 of their big chances. They're definitely making life harder for themselves than it needs to be. Mind you if they average a shot every 4 minutes against Porto on Monday and score 3 I won't be complaining. Well as long as they don't repeat the Supertaça and concede 4 by way of reply....
