SPORTING CP – EINTRACHT FRANKFURT | Tuesday 9pm
Let’s have a recap: Tottenham first with 8 points; Sporting second with 7, level on points with Eintracht Frankfurt; Marseille with 6, which closes the picture. In Group D of the Champions League, everything is on the line on the last day, and the feeling is that the Portuguese may be able to pull off a coup by going ahead in Europe’s top flight. Not only because of the result of the first leg – three-nil in Germany – but also because of the Champions League experience of the men who will play at home. In short, the coup grouper on the last day seems definitely probable. Not least because Sporting’s thoughts have been firmly set on this match for a week now. The proof? In the league, the Portuguese side lost to Arouca.
Obviously, Sporting CP know very well what a passage of the round could bring from a financial point of view, and so everyone’s thoughts are already projected towards the challenge against the Germans, who honestly do not seem to be able to create any particular problems. In short, Sporting CP really seem to have qualification in their pockets.
The Prediction
Fight that could well give at least three goals in total. But what seems most certain is that Sporting should, at the end of these ninety minutes, win and take home three points and qualification for the Champions League round of 16. Maybe even thinking about the possibility of taking the first place in the group.
