Bayern Munich vs Sporting Lisbon Predictions

• Bayern have never lost in 15 home games against Portuguese opposition in UEFA club competition
• Sporting CP have scored in each of their last 21 UEFA competition group stage/league phase matches
• Both teams have scored in four of Bayern’s five UCL games, the same number as Sporting CP

Bayern to get back on track

The German champions came unstuck in their 3-1 loss at Arsenal on matchday five, having previously won all four games while scoring 14 goals.

Sporting meanwhile enter this round of games with 10 points from five games, extending their scoring run in European games to 21. They can find the net but 14 defeats in 17 European encounters in Germany doesn’t bode well.

Germans to fire at home

Bayern’s home record reads well, with 34 wins and two draw in the last 36 group stage/league phase games at the Allianz Arena.

They have scored seven goals in two games here in the UCL, and 36 in all across nine home games for an average of four per game. They should be well on top over 90 minutes even if Sporting continue their good record of scoring in Europe.
