Recent form

Sporting CP

Sporting CP have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, displaying resilience in domestic competitions whilst facing challenges in European play. The Lions have managed three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six matches, scoring an impressive 12 goals whilst conceding seven. Their defensive record is noteworthy, with three clean sheets in this period. A particularly high-scoring encounter was the 4-4 draw against Guimaraes, showcasing Sporting's attacking prowess but also highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. The team have demonstrated strength in cup competitions, securing a vital win against rivals FC Porto in the Taça da Liga and holding Benfica to a draw in the same tournament. However, their Champions League aspirations took a hit with a narrow 2-1 loss to RB Leipzig. Despite the varied results, Sporting CP have maintained a positive goal difference and have scored in every match, indicating a consistent offensive threat.

Bologna

Bologna have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable unbeaten run of five matches following their loss to Hellas Verona. The Rossoblù have displayed a potent attack, scoring an impressive 12 goals in their last six games, averaging 2 goals per match. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding in every game and allowing 1.67 goals per match on average. Bologna's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in all six encounters. Particularly noteworthy was their 3-1 victory over Monza in Serie A and a significant 2-1 win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, highlighting their ability to compete at both domestic and European levels. Despite their attacking prowess, Bologna's inability to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches may be a concern for the team as they look to solidify their position in the league.

Recent home/away form

Sporting CP

Sporting CP have been in impressive form at home, boasting an unbeaten run of six matches with five wins and one draw. They've shown particular defensive prowess, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. The Lions have been clinical in attack as well, scoring in every match and netting 10 goals across these six games. Their most recent encounter, a 2-0 victory against Nacional, continued their winning streak which now stands at five consecutive home matches. While there haven't been many high-scoring affairs, the 3-2 thriller against Boavista stands out as the most goal-laden fixture. Notably, Sporting CP have managed to secure victories against both of their main rivals, FC Porto and Benfica, during this period, further highlighting their strong home form.

Bologna

Bologna's recent away form has been characterised by resilience and consistency, with the team proving difficult to beat on their travels. In their last six away matches, Bologna have managed one win, four draws, and just one defeat, demonstrating their ability to grind out results on the road. Notably, they've held their own against some of Italy's top sides, securing impressive 2-2 draws against both Inter Milan and Juventus. The team's defensive solidity is evident in their two clean sheets, including a goalless draw in the Champions League against Benfica. However, their sole defeat was a heavy 3-0 loss to Lazio, which stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise steady run. Bologna's goal-scoring record away from home has been modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, while they've conceded at a slightly higher rate of 1.33 per match.
