The last time these teams met was all the way back in 2009 when they faced off in the Champions League 1/8 Finals. The Bavarians absolutely dominated the duel, winning 12:1 on aggregate! That 12:1 loss is undoubtedly regarded as one of the lowest points in Sporting's history. In total, these teams met four times, with Bayern winning three and the remaining game ending in a goalless draw.
Regarding the number of goals, we saw three or more goals twice, while both teams scored just once.
Bayern Munich team overview
Bayern Munich have dominated German football, winning 12 of the last 13 Bundesliga titles, including last season when they finished 13 points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen. However, their recent Champions League runs have been less impressive. Since winning the competition in 2019/20, they have mostly exited in the quarter-finals, reaching only one semi-final.
This season, though, Bayern looked great across all competitions. After just 13 league rounds, they already hold an eight-point lead, making another Bundesliga title very likely. And in the Champions League, they won 12 points in five rounds, and with a possible win here, they would most likely secure their spot in the 1/8 Finals.
Three important players will miss the Sporting game. Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies will remain sidelined with injuries, while Luis Diaz will serve the second of his two-game suspension after receiving a red card vs PSG.

Sporting CP team overview
Sporting had an excellent last season, winning the double - their seventh ever. This season, the popular Lions are doing a good job as they are in 2nd place in Liga Portugal with 32 points in 13 rounds. Even though they are in second place right now, they average around 0.05 points per game more than last season, when they won the title. And in the Champions League, the Lions have also been good, sitting in 8th place with 10 points after five rounds. So, they can undoubtedly be satisfied with how things are going across the competitions.
After a 1:1 draw in the previous game against Benfica, coach Rui Borges spoke to the media. He said they could have a 2:0 lead after the first half, but also pointed out the draw was a fair result because Benfica outplayed them in the second half. The coach added that the game did not decide anything in the title race, considering there are still many matches and points to play for.
