LiontipsSporting CP vs Marseille. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 UEFA Champions League (October 12, 2022).
Command Analysis
Sporting CP looked decent in the Champions League so far. They confidently defeated Tottenham (2:0) and Eintracht (3:0), but suffered a crushing defeat to Marseille (1:4) in the last match. However, they remain the leaders in Group D.
The team was off a slow start in the Primeira Liga, but they have now gained momentum. Currently, Sporting are in 6th place in the standings. Usually, they score a lot at home - in four games at Estadio Jose Alvalade, they scored 10 goals.
Aside from several injuries, Sporting CP will have to cope without their main goalkeeper today - Adan got a red card in the previous game.
Marseille sit bottom of the Group D table after the first three games. The French team lost to Tottenham (0:2) and Eintracht (0:1) before finally earning points last week against Sporting (4:1). They got a massive advantage after the opponents' goalie was sent off.
In Ligue 1, however, the Olympians are 3rd, three points behind PSG. On average, the team scores two goals per game, but at the same time, they have conceded 11 goals in 10 games.
Kolasinac and Ruiz are sidelined with injuries, Clauss and Guendouzi are doubts for this game.
