In their first meeting in the Champions League, Sporting and Lille will compete in Portugal. While the Portuguese champions under the leadership of Ruben Amorim are playing outstandingly, the French team is still trying to find stability after the change of coach. Sporting is increasingly establishing itself on the European stage, after three seasons in a row they progressed to the knockout phase of European competitions, once in the Champions League and twice in the Europa League. In the Europa League, the Lisbon club finished second in the group behind eventual champions Atalanta, and then in the knockout stage playoff they beat Young Boys with a total of 4:2, which ensured a meeting with Atalanta again in the round of 16. Sporting had an outstanding season in the Liga Portugal, winning their 20th title with 90 points, 10 ahead of Benfica. Despite losing to Porto in the cup at the start of the season, Sporting have a perfect record in the league so far, with five wins from five games under Ruben Amorim, who turned down numerous offers from abroad to stay with the team. Judging by the beginning of this season, it seems that Sporting will be more than dominant again. After 5 rounds played, they have a maximum effect and a fantastic goal difference of 19 goals scored and only 2 goals conceded. Of course, the great Gyokeres stands out the most, who scored 8 goals in 5 league games, thus confirming that the previous season was not a coincidence. In addition to him, Goncalves and Trincao, who are also in great form, will pose a threat to the Lilles defense. Lille last competed in the Champions League three years ago, when they reached the knockout stages for the second time, winning their group before losing to Chelsea in the round of 16. But last season they reached the quarter-finals of the European Conference League, where they were eliminated on penalties against Aston Villa. Before that, Lille were unbeaten, with five wins and three draws, but they again met with disappointment in their fight for European glory. After replacing coach Paulo Fonseca, who left for Milan, with Bruno Genesio in the summer, Lille started the season with two wins in Ligue 1 but then suffered two defeats, including a recent 1-0 loss against Saint-Etienne on Friday. , which can be said to be completely unexpected. They also had problems in qualifying for the Champions League, and although it was expected that they would win the doubleheader against Slavia Prague much more easily, that was not the case. The current form is without any dilemma on the home team's side, even if we add to that the way Sporting plays in front of its fans, it is clear that Lille will not have an easy task in this match. The hosts suffered only one defeat in the last 28 league games, and won all of the last 19 home matches. With the support of their passionate fans, they are expected to start the league stage successfully with three important points.

这是里斯本竞技和里尔在欧冠联赛的第一次交锋。当葡萄牙冠军在阿莫里姆的带领下表现出色时，法国队在换帅后仍在努力寻找稳定。竞技在欧洲舞台上的地位越来越稳固，连续三个赛季，他们进入了欧洲赛事的淘汰赛阶段，一次在冠军联赛中，两次在欧洲联赛中。在欧罗巴联赛中，里斯本俱乐部以小组第二的成绩落后于最终的冠军亚特兰大，然后在淘汰赛阶段的季后赛中，他们以4:2的总比分击败了Young Boys，这确保了他们在16强再次与亚特兰大相遇。里斯本竞技在葡萄牙联赛中度过了一个出色的赛季，以90分的成绩赢得了他们的第20个冠军，领先本菲卡10分。尽管在赛季初的杯赛中输给了波尔图，但在阿莫里姆的带领下，竞技队在联赛中取得了完美的战绩，五场比赛取得了五场胜利，阿莫里姆拒绝了许多来自国外的邀请，留在了球队。从本赛季开始的情况来看，似乎里斯本竞技将再次占据统治地位。在5轮比赛之后，他们发挥了最大的作用，取得了惊人的净胜球19球，只丢了2球。当然，最引人注目的是伟大的乔切雷斯，他在5场联赛中打进8球，从而证实了上个赛季不是巧合。除了他之外，同样状态极佳的冈萨尔维斯和特林曹也将对里尔的防守构成威胁。里尔上一次参加欧冠是在三年前，当时他们第二次进入淘汰赛阶段，在16强输给切尔西之前赢得了小组冠军。但上个赛季，他们进入了欧洲联赛的四分之一决赛，在点球大战中被阿斯顿维拉淘汰。在此之前，里尔保持了5胜3平的不败战绩，但他们在争夺欧洲冠军的过程中再次遭遇失望。在夏天用布鲁诺·热内西奥取代离开米兰的保罗·丰塞卡之后，里尔本赛季在法甲联赛中取得了两场胜利，但随后遭遇了两场失利，包括最近在周五0 - 1输给圣埃蒂安。这可以说是完全出乎意料的。他们在欧冠预选赛中也遇到了问题，尽管人们预计他们会更轻松地赢得与布拉格斯拉维亚的双头赛，但事实并非如此。目前的状态对主队来说没有任何困境，即使我们加上竞技在球迷面前的表现，很明显里尔在这场比赛中不会有一个轻松的任务。东道主在过去的28场联赛中只输了一场，并且赢得了最近19场主场比赛的全部胜利。在他们热情的球迷的支持下，他们有望以三分成功开始联赛阶段。
