Sporting Lisbon vs Man City prediction and odds ahead of Champions League clash

Manchester City is poised for a pivotal match against Sporting Lisbon at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, aiming to notch up their third win in a row in the Champions League this season. Bookies Betfred have the Premier League champions as the favourites at 19/20 while Ruben Amorim is 13/5 to pick up a win and give a warning of what is to come ahead of his Old Trafford arrival.

Under Pep Guardiola's leadership, City launched their European campaign with a 0-0 draw against Inter Milan on home turf. Since then, they've shown formidable form by easily overcoming Slovan Bratislava and Sparta Prague, showcasing their strength on the European front.

However, City's domestic form has been less than stellar lately. They suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth, marking their first Premier League loss of 2024. This came shortly after another 2-1 defeat to Tottenham in the EFL Cup. These back-to-back losses have certainly added pressure on Guardiola's men to bounce back as they head to the Portuguese capital.

On the other side, Ruben Amorim is preparing to bid farewell to Sporting Lisbon as he gears up for his new position at Manchester United. Before his departure, Amorim guided Sporting to an emphatic 5-1 victory over Estrela. The Lions are currently leading the Portuguese Primeira Liga and have made an impressive start in Europe, securing seven out of a possible nine points.
