Sporting CP host LASK at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon in the Champions League, with Rui Borges' side looking to build on a strong run of form in European competition.
The Portuguese side have been one of the more consistent performers in the Champions League this season. Three wins from their last five across all competitions, including a 3-1 victory over Galatasaray and a 2-0 win away at Lens, have positioned Sporting comfortably in the upper half of the standings.
LASK arrive in Lisbon in a very different mood. Dietmar Kuehbauer's side sit deep in the Champions League table and have struggled for consistency, though a 4-0 win over Austria Lustenau in their most recent outing offers a rare bright spot.
The Austrian club lost 6-3 to Liverpool in their previous Champions League fixture, a result that exposed real defensive vulnerabilities at this level. They will need a significant improvement to trouble a Sporting side playing at home.
Sporting will be without Zeno Debast and Rodrigo Zalazar through injury, but Borges has enough quality across his squad to absorb those absences and still field a formidable XI at the Alvalade.
For LASK, this represents a chance to show they belong in the competition, even if the odds are firmly against them on the road in Portugal.

Form
Sporting CP have won three, drawn two, and lost none of their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent result was a 2-0 Champions League win away at Lens, and they also claimed a 3-1 victory over Braga in Liga Portugal on October 9. The only points dropped came in draws with Arouca and Famalicao in domestic action. Sporting have scored nine goals and conceded four across those five outings.
LASK have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 4-0 win over Austria Lustenau in the Austrian Bundesliga on October 17, but that followed a 6-3 Champions League defeat to Liverpool and a 2-0 loss to Rapid Wien. LASK have scored ten goals and conceded sixteen across the five-match run, a defensive record that will concern Kuehbauer ahead of this fixture.
Head-to-Head Record
The two clubs have met three times in UEFA competition, with the most recent encounter coming in October 2020 when LASK won 4-1 at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Europa League qualification. Before that, the sides met twice in the 2019-20 Europa League group stage, with LASK winning 3-0 at home and Sporting taking a 2-1 victory in Lisbon. LASK hold the advantage across the recorded series, having won two of the three meetings, with Sporting claiming one.

In the Champions League table, Sporting CP sit sixth while LASK are placed 33rd. That gap in standings reflects the difference in form and results across the competition so far, and makes this a fixture where Sporting will be expected to take all three points on home soil.
