Boavista are doing a very good season with the coach that stayed from the last season - Petit. Since he arrived last season the team improved a lot and he valued many players like Makouta, Seba Perez, Nathan Santos that joined Santos and Petar Musa that is now playing on Benfica. His season they are doing a very good season so far and have more 2 points that Sporting and are in the 5th position. But they lost many important players from the last season - the best player Musa, Hamache started this season but already left, Tiago Ilori, Nathan, Sauer and Ntep. They come from a game where they had a lot of luck against Arouca as away, Arouca got reduced to 10 men very early in the match due to a red card to the midfielder Soro and then at the minute 84 the centre-back of Arouca received red card too and Boavista played almost 15 minutes against 9 men even with 9 players Arouca created the best chances to score and even scored a goal that was disallowed by VAR. They do not defend really well as they were doing last season. Boavista already played against Benfica this season at home and lost 3-0, because the coach Petit tries to assume and dominate the game giving many space on the back that Benfica explored with Rafa and Neres. I think that they will use the same formula and try to press Sporting very high in the pitch. The left-back of them is a main centre-back and because of that Boavista are a very predictable team when they attack from the left-side.

Probable line-up: Cesar; Pedro Malheiro - Reggie Cannon - Sasso - Abascal - Onyemaechi; Makouta - Sebastian Perez; Gorre - Bruno Lourenco and Bozenik.

Sporting CP are living an amazing moment and without any doubt the best moment of the season so far and are in the amazing good of 4 wins in 4 games with 11 goals scored and 0 conceded. In those 4 games they beat Frankfurt as away and Tottenham from Antonio Conte by 2-0. It's the first time in history of Sporting CP that they win the first 2 matches of the Group Phase in Champions League. This game will be the last game before the international break and due to that I do not expect any rotation from the coach Ruben Amorim. Another good news are that the main players from the XI of Sporting were not called to their nations and so they will have a lot of time to rest. The must win of Sporting here is really high as they are already 8 points below Benfica and 5 below Porto and to decrease that they really need to win here. I expect a Sporting very motivated, the players in the best possible shape and Sporting winning without any problem against a team that will give a lot of space for Sporting to attack as they like - the space in the back of the defense for the pace of Pote, Francisco Trincao and Marcus Edwards. Sporting CP are much better team collectively, individualy are probably the best team of the league, better coach and bigger must win.

Probable line-up: Adan; Pedro Porro - Goncalo Inacio - Coates - Matheus Reis - Nuno Santos; Ugarte - Morita; Francisco Trincao - Edwards and Pote.

博阿维斯塔在上赛季留下的教练佩蒂特的带领下度过了一个非常好的赛季。自从他上赛季来到球队后，球队有了很大的进步，他看重了很多球员，比如马库塔、塞巴佩雷斯、加盟桑托斯的内森桑托斯和现在效力于本菲卡的佩塔穆萨。他的赛季到目前为止，他们的表现非常好，并且比葡萄牙体育多得 2 分，并且排在第 5 位。但他们失去了上赛季的许多重要球员——最好的球员穆萨、本赛季首发但已经离开的哈马切、蒂亚戈·伊洛里、内森、绍尔和恩特普。他们来自一场客场对阵阿鲁卡的比赛，他们在对阵阿鲁卡的比赛中运气不错，由于中场索罗的一张红牌，阿鲁卡在比赛很早的时候就被减少到了 10 人，然后在第 84 分钟，阿鲁卡的中后卫收到了红牌也是如此，即使有 9 名球员，博阿维斯塔也与 9 名球员打了近 15 分钟，阿鲁卡创造了最好的进球机会，甚至打进了一个被 VAR 禁止的进球。他们真的不防守就像他们上赛季一样。博阿维斯塔本赛季已经在主场与本菲卡交手并以 3-0 失利，因为主教练佩蒂特试图占据并主宰比赛，给本菲卡与拉法和内雷斯一起探索的后场空间提供了很多空间。我认为他们将使用相同的方式并尝试在球场上将Sporting压得很高。他们的左后卫是主力中后卫，因此博阿维斯塔在左路进攻时是一支非常容易预测的球队。

葡萄牙体育正在度过一个令人惊叹的时刻，毫无疑问是本赛季迄今为止最好的时刻，并且在 4 场比赛中取得 4 胜 11 球 0 失球的惊人成绩。在这4场比赛中，他们以2-0击败了安东尼奥·孔蒂的法兰克福和托特纳姆热刺。这是葡萄牙体育历史上第一次在欧冠小组赛的前2场比赛中获胜。这场比赛将是国际比赛日前的最后一场比赛，因此我预计主教练鲁本·阿莫林不会进行任何轮换。另一个好消息是，来自葡萄牙体育的 XI 队的主要球员没有被召集到他们的国家，所以他们将有很多时间休息。体育在这里的必胜点非常高，因为他们已经比本菲卡低 8 分，比波尔图低 5 分，而且他们确实需要在这里取胜。我希望葡萄牙体育非常有动力，球员处于最佳状态，并且在对阵一支能给球队提供很大空间的球队时，葡萄牙体育毫无问题地获胜随心所欲地进攻——后防线的空间适合波特、弗朗西斯科·特林考和马库斯·爱德华兹的步伐。葡萄牙体育是集体更好的球队，个人可能是联盟中最好的球队，更好的教练和更大的必须获胜。
