Sporting CP vs PSG

PSG continue their UEFA Champions League title defence when they travel to Sporting CP for a league phase clash on Tuesday.

The Parisians have been solid enough in the competition and are also showing some good form lately. They should have the edge over the hosts, who have stumbled slightly lately.

Sporting CP News

Sporting CP are in the mix for the playoffs, having claimed three wins from their six league phase matches. However, they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Bayern Munich in their previous fixture despite taking the lead after the restart.

The Portuguese side have stumbled a bit lately and are winless in two of their last three matches across all competitions. However, they have won nine of their last 10 home matches, including a 3-0 victory over Casa Pia in a Liga Portugal fixture last weekend.

That result highlights Sporting CP’s attacking prowess, having scored in their last 10 matches across all competitions, with seven of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals. However, Rui Borges’ team have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of the last nine fixtures on this run.

PSG News

It has been a smooth title defence for PSG so far as they sit third in the table, having gone unbeaten in five of their six matches. Luis Enrique’s team were held to a 0-0 home draw by Athletic Bilbao in their previous fixture.

PSG’s overall form has also been solid, having gone unbeaten in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions, earning a 3-0 Ligue 1 victory over Lille last weekend. They have also done some good work on their travels and are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 away matches.

Goals are generally not a problem for PSG, who have scored in eight of their last 10 away matches. Six of their last nine matches have produced over 2.5 goals while they are without a clean sheet in three of the last four fixtures on this run.

Head to Head

The only previous meeting between Sporting CP and PSG was a friendly in 2010, which ended 4-2 in favour of the Parisians.

Verdict

Sporting v PSG

Sporting CP and PSG often impress going forward, and with neither defence looking solid at the moment, both teams are expected to score here. With seven of the Portuguese side's last 10 matches producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome is on the cards.

PSG have been solid so far in the league phase and will be feeling confident here. While Sporting CP have the quality to make things difficult, the Parisians are expected to claim the upper hand here.
