The visitors recorded a 2-0 win over Lille in their campaign opener thanks to goals from Viktor Gyökeres and Zeno Debast. They continued their winning run in the Primeira Liga with 3-0 wins over AVS and Estoril last month. They are currently on an eight-game winning streak in all competitions, scoring at least three goals in six games in that period.

PSV vs Sporting Prediction

Lampen head into the match on a two-game winning streak, scoring five goals and will look to build on that momentum. They have an unbeaten home record across all competitions in 2024 and will look to bounce back from the loss in the campaign opener.

Hirving Lozano has a muscle injury and is a doubt. Sergiño Dest has a knee injury while Fredrik Oppegård has also not played since August. Joey Veerman was injured last week and is unlikely to be risked here by head coach Peter Bosz.

Leões are on an eight-game winning streak in all competitions, keeping six consecutive clean sheets. They have a 100% away record this term and are strong favorites.

Rúben Amorim has three absentees for this match as Marcus Edwards, Pedro Gonçalves, and Jeremiah St. Juste did not train due to muscle injuries. Viktor Gyökeres was taken off as a precaution against Estoril Praia last week but should be available for this match.

Considering the current form of the two teams, a high-scoring draw will likely ensue.
