Sporting Lisbon vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

 by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions

The floodlights will be beaming down on Estadio Jose Alvalade on Tuesday night when Manchester City arrive in Portugal to face Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League. The Lions and Citizens are both on seven points after the first three matchdays in this competition and are currently in eighth and third place in the standings respectively. Check out our match prediction below!

Sporting earned their first-ever victory over Manchester City in Europe back in 2012 in the Europa League, but they have failed to win any against the Premier League champs since then (W0 D1 L2). That defeat to Sporting also happens to be the only one that the Citizens have conceded in their last 10 European matches against Portuguese opponents (W6 D3 L1). 

It is sure to be an emotional evening for Ruben Amorim, who will be featuring in his final Champions League match as manager for the Primeira Liga champions. Can he mark the occasion with a victory? Let’s get into the stats.

Sporting Lisbon - Manchester City: Form Analysis

Sporting Lisbon have been simply sensational this season and enter matchday four of the competition as one of only nine sides that are yet to taste defeat in the Champions League this term. 

The Lions romped to a 5-1 victory over Estrela over the weekend, extending their current unbeaten run to 15 matches across all competitions, 14 of which ended in victory. 

The hosts have won all seven of their hoe matches in all competitions this season, while the last time they were beaten on their home patch was in October 2023 against Atalanta in the Europa League. 

Sporting have only failed to score two or more goals in one of their 16 matches this season!

Meanwhile, Manchester City have had a tough week leading up to this match, as they were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Spurs last Wednesday and were beaten by Bournemouth at the weekend. 

Notably, those results represent the first time that the Citizens have lost back-to-back matches in any competition since the end of September 2023. 

In the Champions League, Man City have only played one away game this term and recorded a commanding 4-0 victory over Slovan Bratislava at the start of last month. 

City have scored at least once in each of their last 10 games in all competitions.

Sporting Lisbon & Manchester City Squad Analysis

Sporting Lisbon have a relatively clean bill of health, with Nuno Santos being the only long-term absentee in the squad owing to a patellar tendon rupture, which is likely to cause him to miss the majority of this season. 

The only other injury concern for the hosts here is that of centre-back Eduardo Quaresma, who has now missed the last five games with a knock and is flagged as questionable for this one. 

Viktor Gyokeres has scored eight goals in his last four games for Sporting, including four in his last match!

In contrast, Man City’s injury list is growing and the most recent additions to it are defensive duo John Stones and Ruben Dias, who last featured in the team’s EFL Cup loss to Spurs a week ago. 

Jack Grealish has an unspecified injury which Pep Guardiola said should keep him sidelined until the next international break, while Oscar Bobb is only expected to return to action next year. 

Ballon d’Or winner Rodri is still on his long journey back to full fitness from an ACL tear sustained against Arsenal and will only resume duty for the Citizens next season.
