Fixture: Real Madrid v Sporting Lisbon

Competition: Champions League

Kick-off time: 7:45pm, Wednesday 14th September 2016

Venue: Santiago Bernabeu

 

Real Madrid

Real Madrid will be aiming to be the first side to retain the Champions League title this season. They kick off their campaign against Sporting, a game they’re easily expected to win. They’re the only side left in La Liga with a 100% record, having beaten Osasuna 5-2 at the weekend. Zinedine Zidane will be expected to land either the league title or the European Cup this season, so the pressure in on. He’s going to need to hit the ground running in this group, with a resurgent Borussia Dortmund to come.

Sporting Lisbon

Sporting too have a 100% league record, which sees them lead the way in Portugal. With Real and Dortmund to contend with in the Champions League, few are expecting them to make it in to the last 16. They’ll be battling with Legia Warsaw for a spot in the Europa League knockout round. There’s a very obvious gulf in quality, even though Sporting have added some familiar names. They have Joel Campbell and Lazar Markovic on loan from Arsenal and Liverpool respectively. There’s also a few Euro 2016 winners in there, but their leading man at the back is Liverpool reject Sebastian Coates.

 

Real Madrid vs Sporting Lisbon Predictions

Real are well known as a high scoring side, but few rate them defensively. Surprisingly enough, they made last season’s final without conceding a goal at home. They saw off sides like Manchester City, PSG and Roma with victories to nil on their way to the final in Milan. That’s a record they’ll be aiming to continue when they host the Portuguese side on Wednesday. Real are massive favourites to win, but they look like great value on the win to nil market and that’s our first Real Madrid vs Sporting Lisbon betting tip. Paddy Power are pricing them at 5/4 to take all three points and keep a clean sheet.

Correct Score Betting Tip

Given that Sporting are seriously lacking defensive quality, it’s hard to see them being in this game for long. Real have so much talent going forward that the first goalscorer market is too close to call. Alvaro Morata has been impressive since his return, but this is Cristiano Ronaldo’s first club. Gareth Bale has been in great scoring form, while nine players have chipped in with goals in their three league games. We can see a huge win for the reigning European champions here. For our second Real Madrid vs Sporting Lisbon we’re going with a 3-0 victory to the hosts, which is pirced at 8/1 with Bet Victor.
