Sporting vs Tottenham Betting Pick – Matchup Analysis

Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon got their Champions League campaign off to a flying start last week with a 3-0 destruction of Eintracht Frankfurt over in Germany to now sit atop Champions League Group D after Match Day 1.

Sporting had just one attempt on goal over the opening 45 minutes in what was a fairly dour first half before finally exploding into life in the second half with three goals in just 17 minutes to take the win.

Tottenham enjoyed a similar trajectory in their game against Marseille last Wednesday, with the hosts having no shots on target in the first half of that game before scoring two goals in just five minutes late in the match. New signing Richarlison sealed the deal after Marseille was reduced to ten men early in the second half because of a red card.

Resilience Key For Conte’s Team

Antonio Conte’s men are now enjoying a current 13-game unbeaten streak across all competitions heading into Tuesday’s game, the longest run out of any EPL side currently, and only bettered by PSG’s 18-game unbeaten run in terms of Champions League-level sides.

Tottenham can ill afford to get complacent in this one however as they slipped to a surprising 1-0 road loss away to Pacos Ferreira last season over in Portugal in the Europa Conference League qualifiers.

Edwards Faces Old Foe

Former Tottenham debutant Marcus Edwards will certainly relish facing his old club here on Tuesday after not only scoring the opener against Eintracht Frankfurt last week, but also providing an assist to Francisco Trincao for the second goal just a few minutes later in what was a standout performance from the English youngster.

The rest of Edwards’ Portuguese teammates will likely share his enthusiasm ahead of this one, especially coming off three consecutive victories by a combined 9-0 scoreline over their last three starts.

Sporting vs Tottenham Prediction

For our Sporting vs Tottenham betting pick, we’re taking the ‘Both Teams to Score – Yes‘ prop here on Tuesday as we expect both sides to get on the scoresheet in this one.

Sporting CP has averaged 3.5 goals per game across their last two home victories in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, while Tottenham has scored the Premier League’s third-most goals away from home this season as well.

Both teams are coming into this one off protracted unbeaten streaks and with Tottenham having extra time to prepare for this one combined with Sporting’s dominant home form, we expect both sides to find the back of the net on Tuesday at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.

So, for the Sporting vs Tottenham betting pick, take the ‘Both Teams to Score – Yes’ prop at -134 as the play between Tottenham and Sporting CP on Tuesday in Champions League action.
