After controversy, Suárez is flying and could match Sporting best | OneFootball

Luis Suárez is going through one of his best periods since arriving at Sporting. The Colombian striker has scored in each of the last four matches and could, against Famalicão, match the best scoring streak he has ever achieved wearing the lion on his chest: five consecutive games on the scoresheet.

Alverca, Rio Ave, Nacional and Galatasaray were the latest victims of the 'number 97'. At 28, Suárez has rediscovered his scoring rhythm and once again established himself as one of the main attacking references in Rui Borges' team.

The Colombian already reached this mark twice last season. Between April and May, he scored against Tondela, Vitória SC, Rio Ave, Gil Vicente and Torreense. Months earlier, between February and March, he had also managed five straight scoring games, against Porto, Moreirense, Estoril, Porto again in the Portuguese Cup, and Braga.

The current streak carries even more weight after a start to the season marked by some noise surrounding the player. Rui Borges, however, always kept his faith in Luis Suárez and recently admitted that he believes the striker could even surpass the 38 goals scored in 2025/26.

Famalicão now emerges as the next test. If he scores again, Suárez will equal his all-time best streak in a Sporting shirt and confirm the return of a version of himself that, in recent matches, has once again been decisive for the Lions.
