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

Lens vs Sporting CP predicted formations

Lens host Sporting CP at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Tuesday, October 13 (12:45 PM ET / 11:45 AM CT / 9:45 AM PT).

Neither Lens nor Sporting CP has a reported absence heading into this group game, so both sides should be able to field their strongest attacking options. Florian Thauvin, who scored and created four chances from eight shots in Lens’s opening win, is the man to watch, with Abdallah Sima and Ruben Aguilar also among the goals. Sporting CP will lean on Luis Suárez and Geny Catamo, who both found the net in the win over Galatasaray.

Both sides opened Champions League group play with wins and goals at both ends, Lens winning 3-2 at Slavia Prague and Sporting CP winning 3-1 over Galatasaray. That shared pattern of goals at both ends points to another open game, with Lens’s extra attacking depth shading the balance.

    Potential Match-Winners

    • Florian Thauvin (Lens): Florian Thauvin scored once, created four chances and had three shots on target from eight attempts in Lens’s opening win — the clearest attacking influence on the pitch.
    • Abdallah Sima (Lens): Abdallah Sima needed just one shot, on target, to get his goal in the win over Slavia Prague, a sign of the striker’s instinct in front of goal.
    • Luis Suárez (Sporting CP): Luis Suárez scored from three shots, two of which were on target, leading the line for Sporting CP in their win over Galatasaray.

    Lens vs Sporting CP Prediction

    Lens have the attacking edge through Florian Thauvin, Abdallah Sima and Ruben Aguilar, all of whom scored in the win over Slavia Prague, and that strength in depth should be enough to see off a Sporting CP side who are just as capable of scoring through Luis Suárez and Geny Catamo. Expect goals at both ends, but Lens’s extra firepower to land them a 2-1 win.
