Sporting vs AVS Head to Head: Can Rui Borges' Men Progress To The Semifinals of Taca de Portugal?

The final game of the quarterfinals of the Taca de Portugal sees Sporting take on AVS at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Friday. In an encounter where the home side would be the runaway favourites, the visitors will be looking to spoil their semifinal plans.

Sporting CP made hard work of Santa Clara in their previous game. It took them extra time to come back from 2-1 down and walk out 3-2 winners in Round 5, courtesy of goals from Joao Simoes, Luis Javier Suarez, and Fotis Ioannidis. AVS were lucky in their last game in the tournament, as a solitary goal from Babatunde Akinsola in the first half earned them progression into the quarterfinals.

The semifinal action will be a win-or-go-home clash, with teams looking to win the premier knockout tournament of Portuguese football. It will be an intriguing battle between two teams at either end of the Liga Portugal table.

Sporting vs AVS head to head records display that the teams are meeting each other for the 4th time. Coach Rui Borges will be hoping for an easier day at the office at the cost of the man in the opposite dugout. AVS cannot be written off completely, even if Sporting fans have great memories from their previous meetings; the victory over Borges' men will be celebrated by the visitors long into the night.
