It is undoubtedly the true death zone. Soccer enjoys what is happening in the Champions League and, above all, in Group D, which on the last matchday presents the four teams with a chance to qualify for the round of 16.
The Sporting Lisbon vs Eintracht Frankfurt match has the attraction that both teams will be looking for a win to avoid being left empty-handed, with one eye on what will happen in the Olympique de Marseille vs Tottenham clash.
This is how things stand in Europe’s most coveted tournament, which reaches Matchday 6, the last of the group stage, where there will be no room for speculation. That’s why Lisbon will be a hive of activity when his team hosts the Germans. A draw is no good for them, while for the Portuguese, it would mean waiting for the outcome in Marseille before taking stock.

Sporting Lisbon Preview
Sporting Lisbon knows that a win will automatically send them to the round of 16. But if they draw, they will have to wait for the outcome between Olympique De Marseille vs Tottenham to determine the goal difference. In the game in London, they lost Japanese midfielder Hidemasa Morita, who is not a certainty for this game.
Rúben Filipe Marques Amorim knows that his team easily overcame the Germans in Frankfurt and will copy the model that led to that resounding 3-0 win. However, the circumstances are different, and the Germans are obliged to go out and win.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Antonio Adán; Goncalo Bernardo Inacio, Sebastián Coates, Matheus Reis; Pedro Porro, Manuel Ugarte, Mateus Fernandes, Nuno Santos; Marcus Edwards, Paulinho, Trincao.
Eintracht Frankfurt Preview
Eintracht Frankfurt also wants to make its Champions League dream come true by advancing to the knockout stage. But the poor goal average (-2) means that only a win will guarantee their survival. It will not be easy, as the Portuguese won 3-0 when they met in Germany.
It is true, a lot of water has passed under the bridge and conditions are different today. Frankfurt has some good names in attack to try to make a big impact: Denmark’s Jesper Lindstrom, France’s Randal Kolo Muani, the experienced Mario Götze, Colombia’s Rafael Santos-Borré, and Argentina’s Lucas Alario.
Injuries: Makoto Hasebe, Ansgar Knauff, Christopher Lenz (thigh injury), and Aurélio Buta. Notwithstanding, the team will manage to put up a fight.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Kevin Trapp; Kristijan Jakic, Evan Ndicka, Hrvoje Smolicic; Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe, Djibril Sow, Daichi Kamada, Timothy Chandler; Mario Gotze, Jesper Lindstrom, and Randal Kolo Muani.
JefeBet Prediction
There will be a tense contest in Lisbon, but the home side will show their self-respect and claim a hard-earned victory. Frankfurt will sell their defeat, but it will be Sporting who will qualify for the round of 16.
Prediction: Sporting Lisbon wins 2 to 1.
