Barcelona – Sporting Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (05.12.2017)

champions-league

Last day of Champions where Barcelona is not played at all since it will be first group but Sporting CP is played all to a letter looking sideways at what happens in Greece, where they face an Olympiakos already eliminated from all options, including playing the Europa League and Juve.

The accounts for the Portuguese are clear. Win and hope that Juve does not do it.

The Sporting CP we already know. One of the most cautioned teams in the Champions League with 18 yellow cards received in the five matches of the group stage (average of 3.6 cards per game), which is a card above the 2.5 that they ask for and That’s why I do not understand this quota.

They have overcome this line in four of their five group matches. His only red arrived on his trip to Turin, where they remained incomprehensibly on two cards and the two received in the first half.

They received four yellow cards in their last game against Olympiakos where they also had the game on track from very early (2-0 at halftime, 3-0 at 65 minutes).

They received three yellows in the first day in Greece, three in the visit of Juve and six in the visit of the own Barcelona. In addition they received five cards in the previous one against Steaua in the first leg (0-0) and only one in the round but that match they won 1-5 and also arbitrated Çakir.

In their last three Champions League appearances (counting this season) they would have beaten the line in six of their eight away games. If we include the Europa League two seasons ago, where they played all three group matches and were eliminated by Leverkusen in 1/16 final we would have eight green in 12 European away games.

The referee of the match will be Scottish Craig Thompson, famous for the disaster he set last season on the last day in that Dynamo Kiev-Besiktas that ended with 6-0 and two expelled in Besiktas.

His average in Champions is 5.03 cards per game in the 29 that he has refereed.

This season he led the Basel 5-0 Benfica with five yellows and one red (three yellow for Basel and three yellow and red for Benfica).

To the Sporting CP’s need to win we have the controversial and exmadridista Coentrao and the exbarcelonista Mathieu. I do not think that Barcelona will give the victory so if the CP Sporting favors the result should distribute to keep it and if they are outside the Champions they could lose their nerves.
