They spent the Champions League Play-Off and this Sporting are a team that scores a lot of goals.
Bas Dost, Bruno Fernandes, Gelson Martins and even Doumbia are players who have already scored important goals and have led Sporting to the path of victories.
Fábio Coentrão and Mathieu came to give balance to the most backward section of Sporting and also in this chapter Sporting is better.
Everything was going well, they even beat Olympiakos 3-2 in Greece, which opened up good prospects for this group, but last weekend the lion did not roar in Moreira de Cónegos and went no further than a 1-1 draw.
In part, it was due to this game, because there were players who have gone very discreet.
Barcelona experienced a difficult phase early in the season when they lost Neymar and lost the Spanish Super Cup to Real Madrid with two defeats in both games,
however the team has shown good capacity and good level of play in the last days. Suarez and Messi are fit, Iniesta, Rakitic, Paulinho and even Deulofeu have been well and defensively also have not compromised.
This Barcelona are strong and in the Champions came to win 3-0 to Juventus in a meeting very well achieved. Comes from a good series of victories at Barcelona and are clearly in the best stage of the season.
Sporting vs Barcelona prediction:
Prognosis:
Important game for both teams, but here I hope Barcelona’s victory. They are clearly a stronger team, they have more quality and I believe that they leave Portugal with the 3 points.
Sporting will give it everything, any player wants to play and looks forward to a team like Barcelona, the stadium should be full, the atmosphere also, but Barcelona is from another level and I hope a meeting well achieved by the Spaniards winning the match.
I do not say it’s easy, because Real Madrid have suffered well to beat Sporting in the two group games of the Champions League last year, but I believe that with more or less difficulties, this Barcelona can pass.
