Sporting Lisbon v Manchester City Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Tuesday 5th November 2024
Looking to avoid three successive defeats for the first time since the 2017/18 campaign, Manchester City will be going in search of three points in the Portuguese capital this evening.
Extinguished
Having seen their Carabao Cup dreams being well and truly extinguished by Tottenham Hotspur last week, Manchester City were knocked off the summit of the Premier League table thanks to a 2-1 defeat at AFC Bournemouth. Pep Guardiola’s men have enjoyed a solid start to their Champions League campaign with a goal-less draw with Inter Milan being followed by wins over Slovan Bratislava (0-4) and Sparta Prague (5-0), however they will need to pick themselves up for tonight’s encounter with Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese capital.
Minimum of fuss
Sporting Lisbon are set to wave goodbye to manager Ruben Amorim as he prepares for his move to Manchester United but regardless of this, the side are going about their business with the minimum of fuss and welcome Man City for tonight’s match on the back of some sensational form. Sporting thrashed Estrela Amadora to the tune of 5-1 on Friday evening to extend their winning run to ten from ten games, while they have collected seven points from a possible nine in the Champions League, wins over Lille and Sturm Graz coming either side of a 1-1 stalemate with PSV Eindhoven.
Force to be reckoned with
Manchester City are usually something of a force to be reckoned with but they are something of a wounded animal right now. While the visitors will fight fire with fire tonight, we envisage Pep Guardiola’s men being forced to share the spoils.
Back a draw at best odds of 29/10
