Luís Martins expecting a tough trip to the Azores but sees the encounter with Santa Clara as an opportunity to mature

Sporting CP B are the mirror image of the Alvalade senior team's brilliant form as of late, but a tricky trip to the Azores to face Santa Clara is next up in Ledman LigaPro. For coach Luís Martins, this is exactly the kind of opportunity that his players look for add vital experience.

"The game will start at 0-0 like every other one does and what happens from there is down to us. It will be a hard match, but these are the ones that we like playing. These occasions help the lads to grow and that is what is most important", said the Sporting CP B coach in a pre-match interview this Saturday, adding: "It is a real honour to be with this group of players and coaches. It is fantastic to see the fans getting behind the club so much an the help that everyone gives helps us through those tougher spells."
