Sporting will entertain Tottenham Hotspur at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on matchday of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
The hosts kicked off their group stage campaign against Eintracht Frankfurt with a 3-0 away win, thanks to goals from Marcus Edwards, Francisco Trincao, and Nuno Santos.
Sporting continued their solid form in the Portuguese Primeira Liga with a 4-0 win over Portimonense on Saturday. They kept a clean sheet for the third game across competitions and will look to win their first European home game this season.
Tottenham, meanwhile, overcam Marseille in midweek, thanks to Richarlison's second-half brace. They will travel to Lisbon with a week's rest, as their Premier League game against Manchester City was postponed after the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Sporting vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-to-Head
This will be the first competitive game between the two teams. The hosts are winless in their six meetings against English teams in the UEFA Champions League.
