New leader of the French championship, OM is on a good run. Undefeated since the match lost against Real Madrid (2-1) on September 16, Roberto De Zerbi's players will try to end a terrible series of 11 defeats in their last 12 away matches in the Champions League. The last victory dates back to October 2022, and a successful performance under the orders of Igor Tudor against… Sporting (0-2)!
To defeat Sporting Portugal, the Olympians will travel to Lisbon with a squad that is still well stocked, despite the absences of Amine Gouiri, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Facundo Medina. Opposite, the Lisbon side are coming off an away defeat against Naples (2-1) on the last day of C1, but will be able to count on a full group.
Sporting-OM, the probable lineups
Sporting CP: Rui Silva – Fresneda, Debast, Inacio, Araujo – Hjulmand (cap.), Morita – Quenda, Trincao, Gonçalves – Suarez.
Marseille: Rulli, Pavard, Balerdi (cap.), Aguerd – Weah, Höjbjerg, O'Riley, Emerson – Greenwood, Aubameyang, Paixao.
