Last year, they missed out on the title, but this time they are back with a vengeance and will finish top of the table. Although Sporting is one of the top teams in the Portuguese Premier League, there is a huge gap between the two sides.

Aiming for a second consecutive UEFA Europa League final
Manchester City football club
In the last 16 of the group stage, the team has scored 18 goals to beat Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain and finish first in the round of 16. In addition to the top scorer, Marius, defender Joao Gonzalo also played the role of the guardian with 2 goals and 3 assists, making the opponents even more difficult to defend. Although Kiernan is on the bench for this match, Kialisch and Gabriele Jenksi will be back from injury, and another striker, Stanley Staanen, has scored three times in a row in the last league match, which is a great sign for the Blue Moon.
Sgt's new defeat should not be overestimated
Sporting returned to the UEFA Europa League after 3 years, and with better results in the group stage, they beat Dortmund to win the second place, which is also the second time to reach the knockout stage after the 2008/09 season. However, the team faced Ajax twice in the group stage and lost 1-5 and 2-4 respectively, so the strength of the team should not be overestimated. In addition, Sporting's last league match was a tough match against 1-Porto, but they were forced to a draw after taking a 2-goal lead, which will surely have a great impact on their morale. Even if they can play with a strong lineup in this match, it will be difficult for them to defend against the Blue Moon's strong attack, so they are a good bet for the overdogs.
