Command Analysis
Sporting had the best season possible - the team became the first in the Portuguese championship, two points ahead of Benfica, and also won the national cup, beating the same opponent in the final. In the Champions League, the nominal hosts also performed well - the white and green reached the playoffs, but could not impose the fight on Borussia Dortmund in the 1/16 finals.
Sunderland has finally returned to the English Premier League. The Black Cats have not played in the Premier League since 2017, they even played in the third division, but now they are returning to the top level. In the Championship, the visitors took fourth place and got into the playoffs, in the final of which they managed to beat Sheffield United (2:1) at Wembley, scoring the winning goal in the fifth compensated minute. In a recent friendly match, Regis le Brie's team drew with Sevilla (1-1).

7.50Tip and bets
Bookmakers consider the hosts to be the clear favorite of the match, but it seems to us that the guests should not be underestimated. Recently, Sunderland managed to draw with the Spanish Sevilla, which is clearly not inferior to Sporting. At the same time, the Lisbonians themselves are not at the peak of their form yet, because they recently lost to Scottish Celtic. Most likely, the British will not concede in sparring.
Our betting tip is that Sunderland will not lose in 2.20
