Sporting Lisbon Preview
Sporting Lisbon was the main surprise of this Champions League after defeating both, the favorite Tottenham and the reigning Europa League champions Frankfurt in the first matchdays of the group stage. For this reason, their loss on the third day to their opponent in this match was unexpected, although they are still the group leaders.
However, they will need to get at least a point if they are to maintain that position by the end of the day, and last weekend’s 2-1 away win in their visit to Santa Clara provided them with some confidence which they will be looking to maintain in this match.
Absences: Jovane Cabral, Daniel Braganca, Luis Neto, Pedro Porro, Antonio Adán.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Franco Israel; Jeremiah St. Juste, Sebastián Coates, Matheus Reis, Ricardo Esgaio, Manuel Ugarte, Hidemasa Morita, Nuno Santos, Trincao, Paulinho, Pote.
Marseille Preview
A surprise 4-1 win for Marseille on matchday three against their opponents this time around saw them not only pick up their first points of the group stage, but also score their first goals in the competition. As a result, they come into this match still in with a chance of reaching the next round in a group that is anyone’s game so far.
Despite this, Marseille has gone through a harsh defeat after a 1-2 loss to newly promoted Ajaccio in their last Ligue 1 outing, losing their unbeaten league streak, but they will need to put that bad taste in their mouths if they are serious about progressing in this competition.
Absentees: Sead Kolasinac, Bamba Dieng, Souleymane Isaak Touré.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Pau Lopez; Chancel Mbemba, Eric Bailly, Leonardo Balerdi, Jonathan Clauss, Valentin Rongier, Jordan Veretout, Nuno Tavares, Dimitri Payet, Gerson, Alexis Sanchez.
JefeBet Prediction
The previous match between the two teams promised to be a spectacle due to the dynamic that both teams were bringing to the table and this new clash will not be the different. Furthermore, with both teams knowing that they need a win to avoid making life difficult for themselves in the remaining two rounds of this group stage.
Sporting Lisbon are averaging two goals per game in their 12 matches this season, and only two of them saw them go scoreless. Marseille has also been efficient on the offensive, and their first two matches in this group stage are the only ones this season in which he has failed to score.The 4-1 win over Sporting on matchday three proved that this team can be a match for them.
It is important to note that both teams have scored in Sporting Lisbon’s last four matches, and it would not be surprising if this were to happen again this time.
Prediction: Both teams score: Yes
