• Fixture: Juventus vs Sporting CP
• Date: Tuesday, 04 November 2025
• Kick-off: 20:00 BST
• Venue: Allianz Stadium

Juventus might fancy their chances at home, but they'll need to tighten up at the back. They've been drawing a lot lately, and their defence has been leaky. Sporting CP, on the other hand, have shown they can nick a win away from home, but they'll need to be more solid against Juventus's attack. It could be a tight affair with both teams looking to exploit any defensive slip-ups.

Expect Juventus to come out strong, pushing forward with Vlahovic leading the line. Sporting CP will look to hit on the break, with Goncalves pulling the strings. It might come down to which team can capitalise on their chances. A close game is on the cards.

Juventus have been struggling to keep clean sheets lately, drawing their last two games with high-scoring affairs. They'll need to be more disciplined at the back if they want to beat Sporting CP. On the flip side, their attack has been firing, so they've got the firepower to cause problems. It's all about finding that balance between attack and defence for Juventus.

• Loss: 0-1 vs Real Madrid (A)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Villarreal (A)

• Draw: 4-4 vs Borussia Dortmund (H)

Sporting CP have shown they can win at home and nick a result away, beating Marseille and losing narrowly to Napoli. Their attack looks sharp, but they'll need to be more solid defensively against Juventus. If they can keep it tight at the back and let Goncalves work his magic, they could pull off a surprise. It's all about maintaining that balance for Sporting CP.

• Win: 2-1 vs Marseille (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Napoli (A)

• Win: 4-1 vs Kairat Almaty (H)

Juventus and Sporting CP have had some close encounters recently. In their last four meetings, Juventus have won twice, with two draws. The most recent clash ended in a 1-1 draw, showing how evenly matched these teams can be. It's set to be another tight contest between these two sides.

• D. Braganca (Knee Injury) - Out

• N. Santos (Knee Injury) - Out

Rui Borges of Sporting CP said "We want to win and we want to get better… the players must be hurt when we aren’t able to be the Sporting CP we want to be—and I’ll always be the one to stand up for the players."

• Predicted lineup: Gregorio (GK), Gatti (DF), Rugani (DF), Kelly (DF), Kalulu (DF), Koopmeiners (MF), Thuram (MF), Cambiaso (MF), McKennie (MF), Yildiz (AT), Vlahovic (AT)

With Vlahovic up top and Koopmeiners pulling the strings in midfield, Juventus will look to dominate possession and create chances. Their defence will need to be more organised to keep Sporting CP at bay.

• Predicted lineup: Silva (GK), Fresneda (DF), Debast (DF), Inacio (DF), Araujo (DF), Hjulmand (MF), Simoes (MF), Quenda (MF), Trincao (MF), Goncalves (MF), Suarez (AT)

Sporting CP will rely on Araujo's defensive solidity and Goncalves's creativity in midfield to counter Juventus's attack. They'll need to be disciplined and clinical on the break.

• Vlahovic vs Araujo: This will be a crucial battle between Juventus's goal-scoring machine and Sporting CP's solid defender.
• Koopmeiners vs Hjulmand: A midfield tussle to watch, with Koopmeiners's creativity up against Hjulmand's tenacity.
• Cambiaso (Juventus): Cambiaso's versatility in midfield could be key for Juventus, providing both defensive cover and attacking impetus.
