Sporting Lisbon will host Olympique Marseille at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Group D of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (October 12).
The Portuguese Primeira Liga team are on a run of three home wins and will be looking to keep the ball rolling.
Sporting maintained their fine run of results in the Primeira Liga with a 2-1 victory at Santa Clara on Saturday. They now return home where they are on a three-game winning run since a 2-0 loss against Chaves in August.
The hosts are atop their Champions League group. They will look to exact revenge against Marseille for their 4-1 loss at the French side last week.
Meanwhile, last week’s victory was Marseille’s first of the campaign after losing their opening two games.
Despite the win, they sit rock-bottom in the group with three points from a possible nine. However, they could rise as high as second with all three points on Wednesday.
Marseille head into the midweek clash off a 2-1 loss to Ajaccio in Ligue 1, where they are third in the standings.
