Sporting will be looking to start their return to Europe’s most prestigious tournament on a high when they welcome Lille to Portugal in just over a week's time.

The hosts had a memorable campaign in the Portuguese top flight in 2023-24. Rúben Amorim's men won their first league title in three years with 90 points, their highest ever tally in the division, and have started the new campaign in similar fashion. At the time of writing, the Lions have played four league games in the new campaign, winning all four, and will look to extend this perfect start to the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Lille have lost their footing since 2020-21, when they won their first league title in a decade. The visitors qualified for the Champions League play-offs last season after finishing fourth in Ligue 1 and they made the most of the opportunity by seeing off the likes of Fenerbahce and Slavia Praha.

Sporting vs Lille Betting Tips: Sporting to win

The last time these two sides met was over 13 years ago in the Europa League, with Sporting CP winning both legs, and I fancy the Lions to extend this winning streak.

Rúben Amorim's men have made a perfect start to their domestic campaign by not only winning all four of their matches so far, but they have also found the net 16 times in total.

And with the Lions also boasting two clean sheets from their last two outings, anything other than a win for them against Ligue 1 Lille will be a huge surprise.

  • Best Tip: Home win
  • Sporting vs Lille prediction: 2-1

Sporting team news

Viktor Gyökeres was responsible for 29 of the 96 league goals Sporting CP scored in Liga Portugal last season and the forward has continued from where he stopped last season.

With the 26-year-old already having seven goals in four league games this season, he is the one to bet on if you thinking of someone who could find the back of the net in this game.

Jerry St. Juste has been struggling with a muscle injury since the end of July and should miss this game, but the hosts don’t have any other injury concerns.
