Latest football commentary Sporting Lisbon vs Marseille
The joy of reaching a milestone100 goals in the Champions LeagueSporting Lisbon's performance was somewhat overshadowed by their defeat to the Italian side in the second leg, when they let their opponents score two goals from just three shots on target.
However, at home at Estadio Jose Alvalade, Sporting are still an extremely difficult team. They have won 4/5 recent matches in the group stage/league phase of the Champions League in Lisbon, including a resounding 4-1 victory over Kairat in the opening match.
Under the guidance of coach Rui Borges, the Portuguese team is on a 3-match unbeaten streak at home in all competitions, scoring 8 goals and conceding just 2 in this period.
Head-to-head statistics are also in favor of the “Leões” (Lions): theyUnbeaten in their last eight meetings with French teamsin European competition, winning six of them — including a 2–0 win over Lille in the group stage last season.
In the 2025–26 domestic season, Sporting have taken six points from behind and have never lost a game after opening the scoring. However, their Champions League form has been inconsistent – they have won just one of their last eight games, scoring nine goals (four of which came in the win over Kairat).

Since then, the French representative has been showing extremely impressive form, with5 consecutive wins in all competitions, scoring a total of 13 goals in the last 3 matches.
However, away matches are still a "nightmare" for Les Olympiens in the Champions League: they havelost 11/12 away matches recentlyin this competition. A win in Lisbon would see Marseille win back-to-back Champions League group stage games for the first time since 2022.
On the plus side, their recent away form has been improving — Marseille have won their last two away games, conceding just one goal. However, they have a poor record in Portugal:lost 4/5 Champions League matches here, despite having won both previous meetings with Sporting, including a 2–0 win at the Alvalade in 2022.
