Sporting host PSG on Tuesday with a 20:00 kick-off, the match being shown live on TNT Sports 4 as we enter the business end of the Group Stages.   

Jamie Pacheco thinks the hosts are underrated here while he also has two decent-priced selections on the anytime goalscorer market. Let's check out all three of his Sporting vs PSG Predictions right here on Betfred Insights...

Match Preview:

Sporting  

Sporting are 14th in the CL table, courtesy of three wins, a draw and two defeats so it's been a decent effort from them so far this year. A reminder that Lisbon rivals Benfica are down in 25th. 

They're also going well in the Portuguese Superliga, comfortably in second place and only aren't top because Porto are having an outstanding season and have dropped points only once so far.  

This isn't necessarily a must-win game for Sporting. A point or even three here would certainly help their cause for a Top 8 finish considerably but they still have Bilbao to come so the smart money is on them being seeded going into the Play-Offs.  

They come into this match on the back of a comfortable 3-0 win against Casa Pia on Friday night in a game where Geny Catamo scored a brace. M Hjulmand, suspended, is the only notable absentee.  

PSG 

The Parisians are third in the CL table with four wins, a draw, and a sole defeat, and looking good to avoid going to a Play-off.  

With 19 goals across those six matches, only Dortmund have scored as many as them. Mind you, with eight conceded, their defensive record isn't the best.  

Unsurprisingly, they're top of the table in Ligue 1, but Lens are only two points behind, so they shouldn't take it for granted that they're going to win yet another Ligue 1 title at a canter.  

There are no injuries or suspensions, so Luis Enrique can field his best side here. Like Sporting, they won 3-0 on Friday night, against Lille.  

Sporting vs PSG Predicted Lineups

  • Sporting: Silva, Fresneda, Inacio, Diomande, Simoes, Araujo, Morita, Catamo, Trincao, Pedro Goncalves, Suarez.  
  • PSG: Chevalier, Marquinhos, Mendes, Pacho, Zaire-Emery, Ruiz, Vitinha, Mayulu, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola. 

Match Odds:

Sporting are 3/1, implied probability of 25% with PSG 4/5 (55%) and the draw 11/4, 27%.  

Interestingly, these two have never met in the Champions League but Sporting have a fine record against French teams in the competition, beating Marseille last year and Lille this year in their last two against French opponents. 

PSG on the other hand, haven't enjoyed playing Portuguese opposition in Europe in Portugal, winning just one in eight, losing five and drawing two.  

And Sporting have won all three home matches in the CL this season so perhaps deserve a little more respect here.  

Well, let's give it to them then. You'll see far worse bets than the 1/1 on a home win or draw this week so that's what we're going with on the Double Chance market.

Sporting vs PSG Stats

  • Vitinha (684) has had the most touches of any player so far in the 25/26 Champions League
  • Sporting have a great record for BTTS in the CL - with five of their six matches this season being a winner for this bet.
  • Both sides are at 83% for Over 2.5 Goals this season in UEFA's premier club competition.

To Score  

Ousmane Dembele is 4/1 to be first goalscorer and 6/5 to score anytime. He's only scored one goal in the competition this season but then again, he's only featured on three occasions. Still, that's too short a price for our liking.  

Goals could be on the cards here (over 2.5 is just 4/7), so it could pay to bet with two players with good records in the competition so far.  

Portuguese midfield maestro Vitinha has four goals so far, which is interesting because he's not normally a regular scorer. True that three came in the same match against Tottenham, but he did get one against Leverkusen too, so we'll have a small wager on him adding another at a big-looking 11/2 for such a class act.  

Sporting's Francisco Trincao has three and given we think the hosts should be good for a goal, he's also worth an interest at 3/1.
