For the first match of the round of 16 of the Champions League, Sporting welcomes Manchester City at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
Sporting reached the 16th of the tournament, finishing in 2nd place in its group with 9 points behind Ajax leaving out Dortmund, despite the fact that it started its obligations with 2 defeats in the same number of first matches.
In the Portuguese championship has been left behind in the title fight as well after 22 games is in 2nd place in the standings with 54 points against 60 of the champion Porto. On Friday, in fact, he lost a great opportunity in the derby between them to reduce the difference, after an episodic match, he remained at 2-2 despite the fact that he was ahead with 2-0.
Comfortable qualification for City in the group stage, with opponents Paris, Leipzig and Bruges finished in first place with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. This is the 9th consecutive year that he is in the 16th of the tournament having of course a big goal to win the cup.
He also leads the Premier League race, after 25 games with a record of 20 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses is in 1st place with 63 points against 54 of 2nd Liverpool but having one match more than Klopp's team.
On Saturday, Norwich had no problem at home, crushing it 4-0 and taking its 14th victory in the last 15 matches, taking another step towards the title.
Sporting won the impressions in the group stage, played nice and aggressive football and qualified for the knockout matches of the tournament. City, for its part, is a given that is the favorite not only of the qualification but also of today's match. I believe that the English team will get the victory in a match that can have many goals if one thinks that Sporting rarely stays at zero.
Proposal: Sporting - City 2 & Over 2,5 with odds of 2.10
