Sporting CP vs Manchester City prediction

After a torrid few days in domestic competitions, Manchester City will now turn their attention to the UEFA Champions League. Last time out, the Citizens were dominant against Sparta Prague and a win a against Sporting will do their confidence a world of good after recording two consecutive losses in the EFL Cup and Premier League.

However, Sporting Lisbon are a different proposition, and they are a different kettle of fish. The Portuguese have been on a fine run winning their last six matches in all competitions with aplomb. They will also fancy themselves to get a good result against the Struggling Manchester outfit, given their current form and their history against the English champions.

While it is difficult to back one team to emerge victorious on the night in this match, one feature of past meetings between these teams is that there are always goals-and that could reoccur on Tuesday with both scoring and conceding goals in fair measure.

Backing both teams to provide goals in this match seems to be the most viable option and we will take our chances in the goals market. therefore, we predict that there will be at least three total goals recorded as our main Sporting CP vs Manchester City prediction.
