Bayern Munich vs Sporting Club preview: Prediction, date, kick-off times, venue, how to watch Champions League match on DAZN
This week, UEFA Champions League action returns, with Bayern Munich hosting Sporting Club at the Allianz Arena in one of Tuesday's main attractions.
German giants Bayern are comfortably leading the way at the top of the Bundesliga as they bid to retain the title they won last term, but in Europe, they are seeking a response to their 3-1 defeat at Arsenal a fortnight ago.
It was a first loss in this season's Champions League for Vincent Kompany's men, and they remain well placed to finish in the top eight to automatically qualify for the round of 16.
Sporting Club, meanwhile, have shaped up as one of this season's surprise packages in Europe.
The Portuguese giants have taken an impressive 10 points from their opening five games and currently occupy eighth place in the standings.
They thumped Club Brugge 3-0 at home in Matchday 5 to signal their threat as dark horses in this season's competition.

Bayern Munich vs Sporting Club - the key men
Michael Olise - Bayern Munich
The London-born France international has proved himself one of the finest midfielders in Europe since swapping Crystal Palace for Bavaria in the summer of 2024.
Olise, 23, helped Bayern to the Bundesliga title during his debut campaign last term and has continued his stellar form this season.
Noted for his goals and assists, Olise is a class act who can take some stopping.

Luis Suarez - Sporting Club
The Colombia forward arrived from Almeria during the summer and has proved a big hit at Sporting.
He has scored against Napoli and Club Brugge in the Champions League and is currently in red-hot form.
Suarez will fancy his chances of finding the net against Bayern as Sporting look to bolster their hopes of finishing inside the top eight.

Bayern Munich vs Sporting Club prediction
Bayern will be smarting from their defeat at Arsenal last time out in the Champions League, so expect them to return to winning ways.
Vincent Kompany's men need to reassert their credentials in a competition they have won six times.
Sporting are no mugs, though, and could make life difficult for the Bavarians.
