Sporting CP are set to host Villarreal CF at the Estádio Nacional do Jamor on Friday for this year’s edition of the Trofeu Cinco Violinos. Traditionally held at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, the annual pre-season fixture has been moved to Jamor due to ongoing expansion work at Sporting’s home ground.
Sporting CP will wrap up their pre-season campaign with the Troféu Cinco Violinos clash against Villarreal CF, before gearing up for a high-stakes Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira showdown against fierce rivals Benfica next week. In their most recent outing, Sporting edged past Sunderland 1-0 at the Estádio Algarve, with Francisco Trincão finding the net in the first half to seal the win.
Villarreal, meanwhile, are still searching for their first pre-season victory. The Spanish side have been held to draws in both of their friendlies so far, most recently sharing the spoils in a 2-2 result with St.
Gallen during their Switzerland tour. Etta Eyong and Santi Comesaña were on target as El Submarino Amarillo twice fought back to level the contest.
