📈 Bayern Munich v Sporting Form & Stats
Bayern lost their first game of the season, across all competitions, against Arsenal in the Champions League last time out. This defeat isn’t too costly as it is in the league phase of the tournament, and Bayern have won their other four matches so they should be able to comfortably qualify in the top eight from here.
Bayern’s scoring power is what sets them apart from most sides, they’ll still be without Luis Diaz here after his straight red card against PSG a few weeks back but Bayern have more than enough firepower in reserve with the likes of Olise, Karl, Jackson and Gnabry all available to support Harry Kane - who netted a hat trick inside 30 minutes against Stuttgart from the bench at the weekend.
Sporting have real momentum coming into this clash having avoided defeat in each of their last five matches across all competitions, and winning three of their five matches in the Champions League. Bayern will be the toughest opponent they’ve faced so far, but they can take confidence from recent results with their last defeat in any competition coming against Napoli back on the 1st October.
One of the main issues that Sporting face is not being challenged regularly enough in their domestic league. Only Benfica and Porto really offer them a change in Liga Portugal, so it can be difficult for them to raise their levels in the Champions League, and also adapt their style as they’re used to controlling games.
📔 Bayern Munich v Sporting Formation & Team News
Bayern line up in a very offensive 4-2-3-1 shape, the players they have in the final third allow them to sustain attacks and constantly pin back the opposition - limiting them to opportunities in transition and set pieces. Arsenal have been the only side to exploit this attacking style of play so far this season, suggesting that it takes a very stubborn defensive performance to control Bayern.
Lennart Karl has caught my eye in recent weeks, with the youngster enjoying a breakout season with the first team squad. Kompany clearly trusts him, as displayed by the fact that he started and scored against Arsenal in Bayern’s most recent Champions League assignment. He’s also registered four goal contributions across just four starts in the Bundesliga, so he is clearly a young player with a very high ceiling.
Sporting will also line up in a 4-2-3-1, but this will naturally take on a more defensive shape as they attempt to contain Bayern’s scoring power. Diomande and Inacio will have particularly important roles as Sporting’s centre-backs as they attempt to contain one of the best strikers in world football at the moment, but Sporting will also need to ensure that they can carry an attacking threat, with Catamo able to act as an effective outlet when they do break forward.
