When Tottenham Hotspur take on Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday, they will be looking to rebound from a recent slump in performance in order to secure a spot in the Champions League knockout stages. With seven points from four games, Spurs leads Group D.Marseille and Sporting Lisbon each have six points. It goes without saying that the matchup between Spurs and Sporting on Wednesday night is significant for both teams.
In the run-up to Wednesday’s game, Antonio Conte’s team hasn’t been very good. They have lost their two most recent Premier League matches, to Manchester United and Newcastle United, respectively. They missed a great chance to catch up to rivals and league leaders Arsenal by doing so. If Spurs win, they will advance to the Champions League round of 16 and will be desperate to get back to winning ways. But it won’t be easy for Conte and his team because of all the injuries.
Prediction
Here, both Sporting and Spurs need to win. However, the Spurs have been quite formidable at home and have scored a lot of goals there. Due to their injury woes, Sporting will be without suspended defensive player Pedro Goncalves. We anticipate a significant victory for the Spurs here.
