Command Analysis
Sporting CP
Current form
Sporting has been undefeated so far this season, although the hosts lost points three times in the Portuguese championship, drawing with Estrela (2:2), Famalican (1:1) and Aroka (2:2). Because of these mistakes, the Lisbon club occupies only the third place in the standings of its championship, six points behind the leader. But in the Champions League, the Portuguese team started with two wins in a row. They managed to beat Turkish Galatasaray (3:1) and French Lens (2:0), which allowed the Portuguese to get into the leadership group.
Disqualifications and injuries
Santos and Salazar will miss the match due to injuries. Debase's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In the last three matches, the team has scored at least two goals.
In eight of the last nine home matches, the hosts have won
LASK managed to get into the main stage of the Champions League, having won a strong-willed victory in the confrontation with Scottish Celtic. However, it has not yet been possible to win the tournament itself. In the first round, the club lost minimally to the Greek AEK (0:1). Then there was the match against English Liverpool, which turned out to be much more interesting. Nine goals were scored, but the outcome was unsuccessful for the Austrians - a 3-6 defeat.
Disqualifications and injuries
Harakate will miss the match due to injury. Shake and Savor outside the application. The entry of Bello and Usora into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
The team won the last two face-to-face matches against Sporting
The visitors have scored seven goals in the last two matches.
Sporting is still lucky with the Champions League calendar, and the team is confidently winning the Portuguese Championship. The Lisbon club is confident and ready to continue scoring points in the main European Cup. LASK is currently inferior to his opponent and could not score points even in a duel with the modest AEK. It is unlikely to be possible to break the resistance of a more powerful Sporting.
Our betting tip is the Asian handicap (-2) for Sporting in 1.78
LASK does not have a reliable defensive game - the visitors conceded as many as six goals from Liverpool and responded with three goals. It is unlikely that the match in Portugal will be so effective, but the opponents will surely score four goals.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 3.5 goals in 1.70
Betting on corners
Most likely, the opponents will play on opposite courses from the very first minutes, so we expect a spectacular duel with a large number of standard positions, including corners.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 10.5 corners in 2.17
