Sporting CP comes into this match having won their most recent game, but before that they lost two and drew one, so their form has been a bit shaky. Barcelona, on the other hand, have had a tougher time lately, losing four of their last five matches, including their two most recent games. Neither team is in especially strong shape, but Sporting have the momentum of a fresh win.

There is no history between these two clubs, so it is hard to say if their meetings usually have many goals. Based on how both teams have been playing, this looks like a very close and open game. Given Barcelona's poor recent run and Sporting's more stable if imperfect form, this match could go either way, but it seems most likely to end in a draw.
