(3%) SPORTING LISBON. This price could easily be higher. Sporting Lisbon has been dominating domestically. Indeed, they have scored 19 goals and conceded only two. Pedro Goncalves, Francisco Trincao and Viktor Gyokeres lead an attack which is firing on all cylinders. Gyokeres already has 11 goals and five assits. While Sporting sits on top of the Portuguese standings, Lile is middle of the pack in Ligue 1. Lile has only won just two of its last nine away matches in Europe. The French squad is dealing with some injuries and is still adjusting to life under new management. Sporting has been to the knockout stage in UEFA play (twice in Europa League and once in Champions League) each of the past three years. They're hungry for success and know they need full points from this one. Sporting is very tough here at Estadio Jose Alvalade. Full of confidence from their hot streak and energized by their passionate fans, expect them to get the win.
