Leipzig vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction & Picks - Champions League

Prediction published on 1/20/25, 12:45 PM by Bradley Gibbs in Champions League Picks

This week, after the winter break, the UEFA Champions League is back on our screens. For the second to last time this season, we'll see matches commence in the league phase of the competition, and for many teams there's still plenty to play for. With RB Leipzig and Sporting Lisbon clashing in Germany, it's only really the visitors who have something to play for, with the hosts sitting on a rather upsetting total of zero points with just two games remaining. In contrast, the team from the Portuguese capital of Lisbon sit inside the play-off places, while they are only three points shy of the automatic qualification places. Can they get a positive result and move up the table? We'll find out at Red Bull Arena.

Leipzig - Sporting Lisbon Key Points

Given their lack of motivation, the hosts may field a weakened side, resting key players for more important competitions.
Only one of Sporting's three away games in this competition (this season) has contained more than two goals.

Our Leipzig vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction

If both teams were still fighting for something, then this would definitely have the potential to be an explosive affair, though the standings at this stage of the competition may just dictate that we see something far less entertaining. On this basis, at odds of +135, 'Under 2.5 Goals' looks like a smart play. A win for the visitors would be great, but a draw would do, so don't be too surprised if they opt for a defensively sound, low-key approach at Red Bull Arena, which may just work against a home team lacking motivation to go all out. After all, we have seen the visitors keep the goals out in recent weeks, while their away games in this compeitition haven't always been high scoring. Our Best Bet: Under 2.5 Goals.

Prediction:

Under 2.5 Goals
