Sporting CP CSKA Moskva betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

We expect more goals in the second half of this match. The first half should be more tight and the stats show that the two teams usually score more often at the second half of the matches. So, we won't be surprised if there will be more goal opportunities in the final 45 minutes.

Preview
Sporting and CSKA play at Estádio José Alvalade, in Lisbon, in a match to the First Leg of Champions League Playoffs
The only head-to-head between this two teams happened in 2005, at Europa League's Final, and Sporting lost by 1-3. So, Sporting fans have no good memories against this russian opponent.
Anyway, the quality they are presenting recently and the fact of playing in front of their fans make them slightly favourites into this match.
