Sporting – FCSB PREDICTION & TIPS
Sporting Lisbon
Sporting Lisbon have continued to play in the new season of the Portuguese league NOS, where they stopped last year. Namely with victories. After two game days, the team of Jorge Jesus holds on six points, decorating table place two behind FC Porto. Imposing: Sporting did not have to accept a single contender in these two games. Deportivo Aves defeated a 2-0 win against Vitoria Setubal, a 1-0 home win. No opponents that would put a team like Sporting in fear, but such achievements are, of course, good for self-confidence. If you look at the home-run of the Portuguese in the pre-season before, on Tuesday actually hardly anything can go wrong. From 17 home games in the league won Sporting 12, there were three draws and only two defeats. The Champions League, on the other hand, was not such a successful pavement. Even here the only full success was celebrated in front of the audience and without a goal. Opponents then was with Legia Warsaw a team, which we assess as strongly as Steaua Bucharest on Tuesday. The transfer policy of the club is shown by the fact that one wants to achieve international success. Key players such as William Carvalho have been (still) held, and some internationally experienced players have been committed. The most notable is the former Barcelona player Jeremy Matthieu.
With Seydou Doumbia, a striker was also bound to prove his qualities at FC Basel and could be the perfect complement to top attacker Bas Dost. Lastly, the offensive yield left something to be desired. Against Setúbal, they were only able to score a late penalty, but Sporting did not miss less than nine big odds. However, if the Portuguese attacking players get really in shape, larger teams could also face problems. In terms of system technology, Jorge Jesus works quickly but without neglecting the stability in the traditional 4-4-2 system. The preparations have also shown that it is possible to compete with teams from the strongest leagues. Among them were Fiorentina (1: 0) or quarter-finalist AS Monaco (2: 1). Especially on the wings and especially on Gelson Martins, one was dangerous, the national player of Portugal also holds in the new season again with two goals from two assignments.
Steaua
For the Romanian record-holder Steaua Bucharest ran in the previous season not bad, but also not outstanding. An advantage over Sporting Lisbon is the fact that you already have much more compulsive games in the legs than the Portuguese. Six seasons have already been completed in the Romanian league, three victories have been celebrated, and there were three draws. Lastly, Astra Giurgiu reached a 1-1 draw. Overall, Steaua has been without a win since two games. In the league you are only in fourth place. The previous qualifying round was shown by the fact that they were able to defend themselves against their favorites, with the Czech Republic’s Viktoria Pilsen clearly holding the upper hand 4-1. Sporting Lisbon are mainly offensive but certainly a different league. This is a problem for the Romanians, as Steaua has only been without a match in a single season’s match. Of course, you can also be understated Sporting, especially considering that Constantin Budescu and Filipe Teixeira will also have two important offensive players with a lot of experience. However, the team of Nicolae Dica can already rely on a real scorer in this early phase of the season. Harlem Gnohere has scored four goals in six matches. One of the strengths of the Romanians is surely the wing game, Denis Man, two-time Saisontorschütze, and Florin Tanase, who last but had to be spared, could cause Sporting problems. Last but not least, the Steaua captain was with Denis Alibec, but he should return to the squad on Tuesday. In addition to fast flanking, Steaua is also known for a very robust game, here you will try to buy the playfully stronger Portuguese cut. The return of Alibec could become doubly important, as Steaua’s striker missed the concentration. Of a total of nine attempts, one could convert only one to Giurgiu, although they were the dominant team with a total of 58 per cent of ball possession.
