Sporting vs LOSC: difficult trip for Lille?
After a very long journey in August, LOSC managed to defy the Champions League predictions… Indeed, Lille took out the big fish of the preliminary rounds, José Mourinho's Fenerbahçe, before eliminating Slavia Prague with great difficulty. A real sigh of relief for president Olivier Letang and the club's finances, and a season that promises to be extremely exciting for an entire squad.
But there you have it, the energy left in the Champions League and the very probable motivation of the players to preserve themselves for these European clashes means that Lille will not start its adventure in C1 in optimal form. Indeed, after the defeat in Prague despite the qualification, LOSC chained two defeats in the championship, against PSG (1-3) before the break, and a second much harder to swallow for the supporters, in Saint-Étienne Friday evening (1-0)… Not the best preparation before this trip to Sporting.
LOSC knows how to raise its level of play when the match demands it, and we hope that the players will be up to par this evening.
For its part, Sporting is doing great! The start of the season has been almost perfect, since the Lisbon club has simply won its first 5 league games, scoring 19 goals in total… The only black spot was the defeat in the Super Cup against FC Porto, when Ruben Amorim's men were winning 3-0 in the 24th minute… A match to forget, but which could also be useful this season.
The proof is that Sporting has already played Porto again in the championship, on August 31, and this time won 2-0! It is therefore a formidable team that LOSC will face, even more so at home, and which is carried by a real collective. We obviously often talk about the striker Viktor Gyökeres, but he will not be the only danger for the Lille defense tonight… More info in our Sporting – LOSC prediction!

Sporting – LOSC Prediction
AC Milan vs Liverpool: A classic to start
At the same time as the Lille match, we will be treated to a superb match between AC Milan and Liverpool. A true classic of this Champions League, with some of the most beautiful matches of the competition between these two illustrious clubs. But things are no longer the same, and Milan has been trying to restore its reputation for several years. After a very complicated period, the Milanese club finally won the Italian championship in 2022, before making a semi-final of the C1 the following season.
But the fans want more, and Milan hope to become a top club in the world again, as it was a few decades ago among clubs like United, Bayern, Real, Barca… For the moment, the start of the season for the men of the new coach Paulo Fonseca is not exceptional and, after only 2 points in 3 games, the Rossoneri have just won their first match after the break, 4-0 against Venezia on Saturday afternoon. A good omen before tonight's clash…
A big match awaits two teams full of ambition for this new season.
As for Liverpool, it's also a new cycle that begins, with the arrival of a new coach. Jurgen Klopp, legend of the Reds, leaves his place to Arne Slot, former of AZ Alkmar and Feyenoord. And the beginnings were good, very good even! Indeed, the Dutch technician and his players had, before this weekend, won their first three Premier League matches without conceding a single goal.
There was even a superb 0-3 victory at Old Trafford against eternal rivals Manchester United… But the international break has, a priori, put a bit of disorder in all that, and the Reds have just lost Saturday at Anfield against Nottingham Forest (0-1). Obviously not the best preparation before tackling this clash against AC, but we hope for the Mersey supporters that it was just a mistake. Answer tonight? To prepare your predictions on this clash of the evening, do not hesitate to consult our Milan AC – Liverpool prediction!
