Sporting Lisabon Vs Metalist Charkov football liga match preview


Metalist started the knockout rounds with a comfortable 8-1 aggregate success over Salzburg scoring four times in both legs. They looked to be heading out of the competition at the last 16 stage, losing the home leg of their meeting with Olympiakos 1-0 and trailing by the same scoreline entering the last ten minutes of the return in Greece. An amazing comeback with two late goals to win that second leg 2-1 took Metalist through on away goals.


Sporting are not going to take a hand in the Portuguese title race but their home form is solid with nine wins, two draws and one defeat in the Primeira Liga and they have conceded just six goals in 12 outings in front of their own supporters. They have won seven of the last eight home fixtures (any competition) with all seven wins accompanied by a clean sheet. That home form is replicated in Europe where Sporting have won all six home fixtures, the last four of which saw them prevent the opposition scoring.
