Although Sporting have suffered a painful defeat in the last leg of
the Portuguese Super Liga against bitter rivals FC Porto, Sporting
Lisbon are determined to sweeten the supporter’s feeling with a victory
in Europa League when they host Herta BSC Berlin.
Sporting are clear favorites in this match as we compare the two
teams latest performances. The Portuguese side has showed great football
until the last leg but now only rank 5th in the table with 10 points
from 5 matches played.
In group D of the Europa League they rank 1st with one victory
against Heerenveen, a difficult trip for them but with a favorable
outcome, 2-3 the final score.
Herta is in a very difficult position in the domestic league with
only 3 points in 7 matches, a disaster considering their performance in
the last season. They rank last in the Bundesliga managing only one
victory in the very first leg against Hannover.
They pulled one point in Europa League as they played hosts to
Ventspils, a very upsetting outcome considering the name of their
opponents as the match ended 1-1.
My tip: Sporting to win
