------------------------------
Juventus, still searching for their first Champions League win, host Sporting Lisbon amid a turbulent start to the season and a recent coaching change. The Italian side has managed only one point so far, highlighting their struggles. In contrast, Sporting are in strong form with two wins from three games, aiming to secure a top-eight spot.
Team Analysis:
Juventus are eager to revive their Champions League form under new boss Luciano Spalletti after a poor run and recent domestic victories. They remain unbeaten against Sporting Lisbon in four encounters, including two wins at home, giving them a psychological edge. Sporting, meanwhile, arrive in Turin on a five-game winning streak across competitions, aiming to secure their first competitive victory in Italy and maintain momentum in the group.
Player Situation:
Spalletti retained a flexible three-man defence for Juventus, keeping a similar lineup to the recent Cremona game despite injuries to Bremer and Juan Cabal. Dusan Vlahovic leads Juve’s attack alongside Lois Openda, while Sporting rely on Pedro Goncalves and support from Trincao and Geovany Quenda. Sporting will be without key players Nuno Santos and Daniel Braganca, with doubts over Zeno Debast and Ivan Fresneda, potentially weakening their lineup.
Result Prediction:
With a new coach in charge, Juventus aim to secure three consecutive wins and finally open their Champions League account. Sporting have enjoyed a steadier season but continue to struggle on Italian soil. Juventus’ home advantage makes them strong favorites to maintain that trend.
Predicted Result: Juventus 2-1 Sporting Lisbon.
