MATCH PREDICTION
Austrian champions Sturm Graz have started their 2024/25 UEFA Champions League campaign with a couple of slender defeats. They initially lost by two goals to one in France against Stade Brest before then suffering a 1-0 defeat to Club Brugge in Austria a couple of weeks later. They now face a genuinely magnificent Sporting CP side that have collected four points from two matches against Lille and PSV Eindhoven. Coached by Ruben Amorim, the Lisbon-based club have won all eight of their Portuguese Primeira Liga games, too, scoring 27 goals in the process. Sturm may fancy their chances of scoring at home but Sporting remain firm favourites for this one as they eye up UEFA Champions League knockout football.
