Sporting v Real Madrid Prediction
Real Madrid travel to Portugal with the hope of getting the three points from José Alvalade. They are in great form after beating Atlético Madrid at the derby and they have another tough games, with El Clásico in two weeks. We should expect another good game from Zidane’s side.
Besides, Cristiano Ronaldo will be extra motivated. The Portuguese star scored another hat trick against Atlético and it will be a special game for him as he comes back to his home, Sporting Lisbon. Jorge Jesús’ side is a tough team and they showed it at Bernabéu, but they’re not in their best in the last games.
Real Madrid beat Sporting Lisbon in the extra time in the first game of the group stage thanks to a free kick from Cristiano Ronaldo and a header from Morata. Last time Real Madrid played at José Alvalade was in 2010 and they drew (2-2).
