Prediction: 1-2
Sporting
Rakow and Sporting CP square off against each other at ArcelorMittal Park in the Europa League group stages round 3. Rakow aim to build on a 2-1 win over Legia, but they will have a big fish to fry against the Lisbon Lions. All Arsenic, Lopez, Silva, and Svarnas remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team. The Primeira Liga outfit, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Atalanta.
After several first-team regulars were rested in the Taca de Portugal win over Olivais e Moscavide, Ruben Amorim is going to field the best possible side against Rakow. Towering centre-back Sebastian Coates should be recalled to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the second group game, while both Francisco Trincao and Jerry St. Juste remain in the recovery room. Anyhow, away win should be considered as the Poles do not seem to be competitive at this level.
