Sporting CP head into this Champions League match in shaky form. They have lost three of their last five games, including a couple of heavy defeats, and only managed to pick up one win in that stretch. It’s fair to say they are struggling to find consistency and will be hoping a big European night can turn things around.

Lask Linz, on the other hand, are having a torrid time. They have lost four matches in a row, conceding a lot of goals in each game. Their only recent win came away from home, but that positive result feels like a distant memory given their current slide. Considering how poorly both teams have been defending lately, this could be a very open game with plenty of chances. While neither side is in good shape, Lask Linz's record of scoring more goals gives them a slight edge, so they seem the more likely team to come away with the win.
