[Champions League] Sporting is undoubtedly in good form right now; however, they will face Manchester City, who are eager to bounce back from their recent defeats.

Sporting
Man City
Match Stats

The Lisbon club has entered the ranks of nine teams that remain unbeaten in the Champions League group stage. Under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, they currently sit in eighth place with 7 points, having conceded only one goal in their first three matches. That lone goal came during their away match against PSV (1-1).


In their other matches, the Portuguese side secured confident 2-0 victories over Lille and Sturm Graz. Sporting has been performing strongly this season, leading the Portuguese league table by a significant margin. However, their success has led to a major development: head coach Ruben Amorim has left the club to take the helm at Manchester United.


The "Citizens" have also started the Champions League campaign confidently, amassing 7 points from their first three matches without conceding a single goal. They kicked off the tournament with a goalless draw against Inter before securing two emphatic wins: a 4-0 thrashing of Slovan away and a 5-0 rout of Sparta Prague at home.


Currently, City is experiencing a slight dip in form, having lost two matches. Their first defeat came in the League Cup against Tottenham (1-2), where both teams fielded mixed squads. Last weekend, the "Citizens" fell to Bournemouth (1-2), showing a lackluster performance filled with mistakes and ineffective attacking play. As a result, they slipped from the top spot in the Premier League, now trailing Liverpool by two points.

Prediction: 0-2
