Marking their first-ever Champions League meeting, Sporting Lisbon and Lille will convene at Estadio Jose Alvalade on Tuesday, kicking off the competition's new-look league phase.
Sporting Lisbon:
In their first-ever Champions League clash, Sporting Lisbon will host Lille at Estádio José Alvalade on Tuesday. The Portuguese champions are in excellent domestic form, winning all five league matches so far this season and boasting a strong defensive record. Despite recent domestic success and a perfect start to the league, Sporting's recent European home record is less impressive, with seven losses in their last 12 European matches in Lisbon. They will need to improve on this to advance past the group stage.
Lille:
Lille, back in the Champions League after a year away, have had a mixed start to the season. They reached the knockout stages three years ago but have struggled away in Europe, winning just two of their last nine away games. After a strong start in Ligue 1, they have recently slipped, losing their last two matches. Lille will look to reverse their recent decline and get a positive result against Sporting Lisbon to boost their chances in the group stage.
Prediction: 2-1
