Eintracht vs Sporting Prediction: Home advantage will help the Eagles earn points

Eintracht Frankfurt will take on Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League group stage on September 7 at 19:45 (UTC+3). Let’s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Winning the last Europa League allowed Eintracht to qualify for the Champions League group stage. Back then, the Eagles somehow managed to cope with Rangers, winning the long-awaited shootout victory (1-1 regular time, 5-4 in the penalty shootout). Now they have an excellent opportunity to try their luck in the Champions League playoffs because Eintracht is facing far from the most challenging group – Tottenham, Marseille, and Sporting. Competing with the Spurs will be extremely difficult, but there is a big chance of winning against the Southerners and the Lions.

Last season Sporting consistently demonstrated excellent results in the Portuguese championship, but Porto still could not get ahead. Thus, the Lions finished second and earned a direct ticket to the Champions League group stage. Sporting was very lucky with the quartet. Two teams out of three (Marseille and Eintracht) do not perform much better, so the Portuguese club can fight for the playoffs, at least in the Europa League.

It is tough to determine the favorite, as they are almost equally strong teams. However, the Eagles have been looking a little better lately. So, in the last four games, they got two wins and two draws, while Sporting won twice and lost twice. Also, Eintracht will play with their audience's support, who will feel very confident. With this in mind, we suggest betting on the hosts' double chance, strengthening the odds with a small TO.

Prediction: Eintracht Not To Lose + Total Over (1.5).
