Sporting
Sporting are jostling for position in the Champions League table, sitting in 13th and looking good for a Playoff spot at the very least.
Two wins, a draw and a loss are a pretty good return given the field and a win here would see them shoot up the table and even make them believe that they can avoid the Playoffs altogether.
Given they're also in second place in the Superliga and progressed easily in the Cup and it's been an excellent season so far for the Lions.
Zeno Debast is a loss at the heart of their defence, while Pedro Goncalves and Daniel Braganca are also important absences in midfield, but they're pretty well stocked in those positions anyway.
Club Brugge
Brugge are currently in 22nd with a win and a draw to show from their efforts so far, meaning they have a chance of making it to the Playoffs.
That one draw was a pretty unlikely one, holding Barcelona to 3-3 at home thanks to two goals from Carlos Forbs, the 21-year-old who recently made his debut for Portugal.
They're going well in the Belgian league too, just four points off Anderlecht after losing 1-0 to them a couple of weeks ago.
Experienced goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, once of Sunderland and Liverpool, is out injured, as are midfielder Ludovit Reis and defender Bjorn Meijer.
Sporting vs Club Brugge Predicted Lineups
- Sporting: Silva, Fresneda, Inacio, Diomande, Hjulmand, Araujo, Simoes, Catamo, Trincao, Quenda, Suarez.

Sporting vs Club Brugge Match Result Predictions & Odds
Sporting are 3/5, or with a 62.5% chance of winning, if you prefer. Brugge are 4/1 (20%) with the draw chalked up at 3/1 (a 25% possibility).
For the record, these teams have only ever played once before in official matches and that was last year, Brugge winning 2-1 at home.
These prices all look bang on, so we don't play them and move on to other markets.

Sporting vs Club Brugge Stats
- Over 2.5 Goals has been a winner in all six CL games (including qualifiers) that Club Brugge has played this season. Over 3.5 has been a winner in five of the six.
- Only the 1-1 draw in Turin has stopped Sporting from also having a 100% record for Over 2.5 Goals.
- Sporting though do have a 100% record for BTTS. Club Brugge are at 67%.
Match Result and Both Teams to Score
Such as this one. Instead of just taking the Sporting win at what is the correct price, albeit one that isn't going to return much, we can add something else to the equation: that Brugge score too.
They certainly should. After all, they've scored in each of their four CL matches to date, while Sporting have conceded in all of their four matches as well.
In summary: all eight matches involving these two teams so far in the competition would have paid out on the 'yes' option of both teams to score.
So if you want the safe option, go with BTTS at 4/7.
But if like me, you believe Sporting are the stronger side and that they know they won't get many better chances for three points than at home to Brugge (so will take risks if necessary), go for the home win with both teams scoring in the process at a decent-looking 9/5.
Sporting vs Club Brugge Prediction 1 - Sporting to win & BTTS @ 9/5
Odds correct at time of publishing.
Team with most booking points
When a team is a warm/hot favourite to win the match, what you often see is that cards and corners markets reflect that, whether they should, or not.
And here's a good example of that. Sporting players have so far been given 10 yellow cards to Brugge's four and have committed 48 fouls to Brugge's 35, so are clearly the more undisciplined side of the two.
So there's no good reason why Brugge should be just 11/10 to get the most bookings points in the match.
The draw is a decent price at 16/5 but given Sporting have had more than twice the yellows that Brugge have, I prefer the 6/4 that Sporting get more.
Sporting vs Club Brugge Prediction 2 - Sporting to have most booking points @ 6/4
