Sporting CP and Marseille face off on Wednesday in a Group D UEFA Champions League showdown at José Alvalade Stadium. 

When these two teams faced off last Tuesday, it was Marseille that secured the 4-1 victory. Francisco Trincao opened up the scoring for Sporting CP in the 1st minute with a goal. Alexis Sanchez opened up the scoring in the 13th minute for Marseille, and they never looked back as they cruised to the easy victory. Antonio Adan picked up a red card in the 23rd minute for Sporting CP. Marseille had 56 percent of the possession and seven shots on target. Sporting CP had two shots on target and 44 percent of the possession. 

Sporting CP comes into this game sitting in 1st place in the standings having picked up six points. Sporting’s last game came against Santa Clara on Saturday, and they were able to secure the 2-1 victory. Sporting had 68 percent of the possession and three shots on target on the way to the victory. Starting goalkeeper Antonio Adan is suspended for this game and that is a big loss for this team. Daniel Braganca and Neto are both dealing with knee injuries, and he won’t be able to go in this game. 

Marseille comes into this game sitting in 4th place in the group having picked up three points. Their last game came against Ajaccio on Saturday, and they were defeated 2-1. Marseille opened up the scoring in the 15th minute, but then the defense started to struggle, and they lost by a goal. Marseille had 66 percent of the possession, but only two shots on target. Sead Kolasinac is dealing with an injury right now, and he’s not going to be able to go in this game. 

Marseille had no issue in the last game against Sporting CP, and now Sporting is without their starting goaltender. In this game, look for Marseille to continue the offensive success and that is going to be the difference here. Look for Marseille to score two or three goals, and they will secure the win.
