Barcelona Sporting CP betting prediction
 Barcelona |
|  Sporting CP |
Betting suggestion:
This is a match between two great teams of European football, but they’re still at very different levels. While Barcelona is still one of the top teams on the planet, Sporting has more prominence at national level, although they have a good record in international competitions. However, the difference between the teams is visible, although the last match between them was well balanced, with a thin win of the Spaniards by 0-1. So, as they now play in front of their fans, it’s expectable a more offensive Barcelona, being a good option to bet on a match with more goals than usual.

Preview
Barcelona and Sporting CP face at Camp Nou, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (Group Stage). Sporting CP registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.
Analysis Barcelona
After 3 wins and 2 draws, the home team is currently in the 1st position, with 11 points won. In the last match, they have tied (0‑0) in an away match against Juventus, after in the previous round they have tied (0‑0) in an away match against Olympiakos Piraeus. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in away matches; against 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss at their stadium. They come to this match after a home draw against Celta de Vigo by (2‑2). Barcelona has won 9 and tied 1 of the last 10 home matches.
They haven’t lost any of the last 5 matches for this competition. They have presented defensive consistency, since they have only suffered goals in 1 of the last 5 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 58 of the last 63 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 53 out of 63 have ended with Over 2,5 goals.
Barcelona comes for this match with great tranquility, because even losing is already guaranteed in the next stage of the UEFA Champions League. However, by the standards of the team, the moment they’re going through is not of the best, as accumulates three draws in the last five rounds. The last of them took place in the Spanish Championship, against Celta de Vigo, in a match where they managed to finish double the opponent's time, but left much to be desired in defensive terms, thus embittering an unsatisfactory result at home. Nevertheless, the team continues having the best attack of the national championship, and also the second-best defense, performance that is being repeated in the continental tournament, where they have the less conceded defense among all the 32 participants, next to the Paris Saint Germain, with only one conceded goal. The coach has been making frequent changes in the tactical configuration of the team, and shouldn’t have major problems between the initials for this match.

Analysis Sporting CP
The away team is currently in the 3rd position, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have tied a home match against Juventus by (1‑1). In the last round, they have won a home match against Olympiakos Piraeus by (3‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in away matches, with 37 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got a home win against Belenenses by (1‑0). In the last 10 away matches Sporting CP has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 9 of the last 9 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 5 of those 9 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 6 of them.
Sporting is only third in Group D of the UEFA Champions League but still dreaming about qualifying for the next round of the competition, and for that they need a victory in this match, as well as cheering for, at maximum, a draw of Juventus against Olympiakos. The team is going through a great moment, as they have been undefeated for eight matches, and now comes after four consecutive victories. The last of them took place in the Portuguese Championship - where they shared the lead alongside Porto - in a very balanced match against Belenenses, where midfield consistency made the difference. The national championship numbers show a team that is characterized by great offensive power, which has been confirmed in the continental tournament, where they have the best attack of Group D. The coach is likely to keep the team in 4-2-3 -1, highlighting Dost in the attack.
