2 Ways to Bet on the Sporting vs Man City Champions League Match

1. Bet This Game to Land Over the Total

The reigning Portuguese champions have certainly been flying this season, winning all ten of their matches in this season’s Primeira Liga, scoring 35 goals and conceding just three.

The most recent of those wins was last Friday’s 5-1 home win over Estrela, a victory that came after the announcement of Ruben Amorim’s departure, underlining that Sporting have been able to maintain their levels despite the ongoing upheaval in their dugout.

A home clash with City will represent Sporting’s toughest test of the season to date, but the Lions have taken seven points from their opening three Champions League games, the same amount as the Citizens, who they could be facing at the right time.

Not since August 2021 has City lost three games on the bounce, and even then those defeats were stretched over two different seasons, but with manager Pep Guardiola having to deal with an injury crisis ahead of the trip to Lisbon, another defeat on Tuesday might be on the cards.

Rodri, Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias, John Stones, and Oscar Bobb are all definitely out, while doubts remain over players such as Kevin De Bruyne and Savinho.

Even with so many players out, City has enough power to score against Sporting, but the in-form hosts can capitalize on the visitors’ ongoing frailties and can take at least a point from the contest.

It’s risky betting on the moneyline here, so if you’re looking for a great pick for your soccer parlay bets, you should back an entertaining game where both teams will find the back of the net.

Bet on Both teams to score and Total Over 2½ (-120)

2. Best Player Prop Bet: Viktor Gyokeres to Score

Viktor Gyokeres has 24 goals in 20 appearances for club and country this season, including 16 in 10 in the Primeira Liga, while he ran in a staggering four goals in Friday’s thrashing of Estrela.

Gyokeres is one of Europe’s most in-form strikers and against a potentially depleted City backline, he could set Sporting on their way to a famous result.

If you’re looking for a great soccer player prop pick, back Gyokeres to contribute on the scoresheet.

Bet on Viktor Gyokeres to Score 1+ Goals (+175)
