Sporting CP vs LASK: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Sporting CP vs LASK predicted formations

Sporting CP host LASK at Estádio José Alvalade on Wednesday, October 21 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).

No absences are flagged for either squad ahead of this one at Estádio José Alvalade. Sporting CP’s front line already carries goals from Luis Javier Suárez Charris, Geny Cipriano Catamo, Rodrigo Zalazar Martínez and Issa Doumbia, giving the hosts a settled look going forward. LASK’s threat is more spread out, with Florian Flecker, Robert Ljubičić and Samuel Oluwabukunmi Adeniran all among the scorers and Sascha Horvath pulling the strings through the middle.

Sporting CP arrive with six points from two games and a plus-four goal difference, comfortable winners over Galatasaray at home and away at Lens. LASK, by contrast, sit without a point from their opening two, having shipped four more goals than they’ve scored. That gulf in control suggests a cagey, low-scoring night rather than an end-to-end shootout — Sporting CP look set to manage the game rather than chase it, squeezing out a narrow win without needing to open the floodgates.

    • Sascha Horvath (LASK): His 12 chances created from 279 minutes make him the creative supply line LASK will need firing to trouble this Sporting defence.
