Sporting is in 3rd place in the standings with three points. In three starting rounds, the Lions suffered two defeats and gained one victory. Now they are in great shape. In the last six matches in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, the national cup, the League Cup, and the Champions League, the Green and Whites have achieved six victories with excellent results in defense. Sporting conceded only three goals in the indicated segment. Last Sunday, Amorim's footballers achieved a home victory against Vitoria Guimaraes (1-0).

Besiktas is on the 4th line in the Group C standings with no points scored. The Black Eagles suffered three defeats in three rounds. And they are approaching the decisive matches in the UEFA Champions League group stage with poor results. In the last seven games in the Turkish Super League, Besiktas suffered five defeats and managed to beat only Sivasspor (2-1) and Galatasaray at home (2-1). On October 30, the Black and Whites lost to one of the championship leaders, Hatayspor (0-1). Having conceded an early goal, they could not overcome the opponent's defense and were left without a goal scored for the first time in five matches.
On October 19, Sporting beat Besiktas with a large score in the third round (1-4). Sebastian Coates scored a brace, Pablo Sarabia upset the goalkeeper from the penalty spot, and Paulinho scored another goal. Kyle Larin scored the only goal for the Black Eagles. Sporting showed class in the match in Istanbul, and the game in Lisbon is likely to end with a similar outcome. The Lions are in great shape at the moment. In case of victory over Besiktas, Amorim's footballers will secure at least 3rd place in the group and will have a chance to compete with Ajax and Borussia Dortmund for a ticket to the 1/8 finals. Besiktas looks unstable in recent matches, especially away. The Turks have conceded in ten previous matches in the Super League and European Cups, and this streak will continue on Wednesday.
Prediction for the match: Sporting to win and Over 2.5 goals scored
