Sporting have finished in the third position in the Primeira Liga in the previous season. They have won 24 matches from 34 played and were solid in defence with only 24 goals allowed. Sporting have started very well in the new season and they are still unbeaten after four matches. Sporting have won three games and have only drew once against Benfica on the road.
Qarabag is a team from Premier League in Azerbaijan. They have some good players but they are not that impressive as a team. Qarabag in the latest Europa League qualification round had problems against Sheriff Tiraspol, they have lost on the road and have failed to make a single shot on target in that game. Qarabag have started the season in the Champions League qualification and were eliminated by BATE.
We should see a big difference between the classes here and I expect Sporting to dominate.
