The 'Lions' are unbeaten in their five league games this season (W4, D1), bringing that confidence to Europe. The hosts have won all three home fixtures in this campaign and have also had a good record in this competition. Sporting have won all four home games in the League Phase of the UCL last campaign and will fancy their chances. Galatasaray have won just one of their last ten games on UCL matchday one. Five of those ended in a defeat, and Gala will look to change that record. Their chances here get a boost from their recent record as the Turks have won their last three games in a row, including a 3-2 away win at Basaksehir last Friday. Galatasaray can't boast of a great form in Europe on the road, though, having lost seven of their last eight away matches in Europe, only winning once. Check the offer! Limited Offer.

Gul Sporting Lisbon & Galatasaray Squad Analysis Sporting coach Rui Borges has a nearly fully fit squad at his disposal. The only absentees are Nuno Santos and Joao Simoes, both long-term injury concerns. The hosts are likely to start in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Luis Suarez leading the line. He could be a crucial cog in the side, having scored five and assisted two goals in last year's UCL campaign. Flacio Goncalves on the left flank is another key player, coming here with three goals in their last four games. Galatasaray are hampered with a lengthy absence list! That includes Victor Osimhen (who scored six goals this season), Marino Lemina, and Wilfried Sinigo. The forward also has seven UCL goals to his name last season, and his absence will be a concern. That leaves their 4-2-3-1 formation dependent on Baris Yilmaz. Men on the wings will be Leroy Sane and Yunus Akgun. While Sane has just one assist to his name this season, Akgun has scored two goals and could be the one to watch out for. Sporting Lisbon - Galatasaray Key Points Six of Sporting's last eight Champions League games have produced over 2.5 goals. Eight of Sporting's last ten competitive matches have seen at least three goals scored within 90 minutes. Seven of Galatasaray's last eight competitive fixtures have seen more than two goals scored. Seven of Galatasaray's last 11 home matches in European competitions saw three or more goals scored. Check the offer! Limited Offer. Currently at Stake Our Sporting Lisbon vs Galatasaray Prediction Sporting carry a five-game unbeaten run to this fixture as they look to revive the happy memories of last season. They reached the quarter-finals of last campaign and have scored in their last 11 competitive games, giving confidence ahead of this first game. Galatasaray also bring strong form to this trip but will need to build on that to address their poor away record in the Champions League. Either way, both teams are likely to play an open game, and that brings goals into the equation. Our Sporting Lisbon vs Galatasaray prediction is over 2.5 goals.
