The Sporting occupy the 3rd position of the UEFA Champions League D Group, with 4 points accumulating in 4 games. The hosts are in pretty good shape, being without defeat in the last 5 official games. After winning the Champions League with Juventus, Sporting defeated Famalicao in the Portuguese Cup and drew in the championship, 2-2 in front of the Braga. The coach of the hosts will not be able to rely on Argentinean J. Silva in this duel, who is injured.

Patricio – Coentrao, Pinto, Figueiredo, Ristovski – Battaglia, Fernandes – Cesar, Podence, Martins – Dost

On the other hand, Olympiakos is ranked the last position of this Champions League group, with 1 point achieved so far. Beliefs are on an upward slope with two consecutive successes in the championship. The previous round, Olympiakos defeated Levadiakos on his own ground, with a score of 2-1. E. Emenike, S. Zdjelar, E. Ben and H. Milic will not perform the trip, they are injured. F. Pardo is the team’s top scorer with 2 goals scored so far.

Therefore – Elabdellaoui, Botia, Engels, Koutris – Tachtsidis – Figueiras, Odjidja Ofoe, Romao, Carcela Gonzalez – Fortounis

Both teams need a success in this dispute, being in a direct duel for the 3rd position. I’m looking forward to a beautiful game, on occasions on both sides.
