RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of three consecutive matches featuring at least five goals. Their attacking prowess is evident, scoring an impressive 3.5 goals per game on average, while their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 2.17 goals per match. The team's goal-scoring ability is particularly highlighted by their 10-0 thrashing of Baník Souš in a friendly, though this result should be considered in context. Leipzig's Bundesliga form has been inconsistent, with a high-scoring 3-3 draw against Vfl Bochum and a heavy 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich standing out. Interestingly, all of Leipzig's last six matches have seen over 2.5 goals, and both teams have scored in 83% of these games, suggesting their matches are typically entertaining affairs for neutrals.

The team's defensive prowess is evident, having kept four clean sheets in this period and conceding only 0.83 goals per game on average. Their most recent outing saw a convincing 3-0 away victory against Rio Ave, highlighting their attacking potential. However, Sporting CP have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, most notably the thrilling 4-4 draw against Guimaraes. The Lions have demonstrated resilience in big matches, securing a crucial 1-0 win over rivals Benfica in the Primeira Liga and repeating the feat against FC Porto in the Taça da Liga. Impressively, Sporting CP have not tasted defeat in their last eight games, showcasing their consistency and determination as they compete for honours across multiple competitions.

Recent home/away form

RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig have shown impressive form at home, winning four of their last six matches across all competitions. The Red Bulls have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting an astounding 22 times in these six games, averaging 3.67 goals per match.

A standout result was their recent 10-0 thrashing of Baník Souš in a friendly, showcasing their offensive firepower. However, Leipzig's defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals in this period, including a surprising 5-1 defeat to VfL Wolfsburg. Despite this, the team have managed to secure two clean sheets and are currently on a three-game winning streak at home, demonstrating their resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks.

Sporting CP

Sporting CP's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing both resilience and vulnerability on the road. Their last six away matches have yielded two wins, two draws, and two losses, demonstrating inconsistent form. Notably, Sporting have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with an impressive 83% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals. The 4-4 draw against Guimaraes and the 4-2 victory over SC Braga stand out as particularly goal-laden encounters. Despite conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game, Sporting's attacking prowess is evident, scoring 2.17 goals per match on average. The team have managed two clean sheets in this period, but both teams have scored in two-thirds of their away fixtures, suggesting defensive frailties. While there are no notable winning or losing streaks, Sporting's ability to bounce back with a 3-0 win against Rio Ave after a run of four games without a victory demonstrates their resilience and potential for strong performances on the road.
