Team News
Sporting
Schalke
- Mauricio will miss the visit of Schalke after being sent off when the teams met a fortnight ago.
- Sporting have no injury concerns.
- Roberto Di Matteo has vast injury problems for the trip to Portugal.
- Julian Draxler is the latest addition to the injury list, with a hamstring injury ruling him out until the new year.
- Schalke could field a similar team to that which beat Augsburg on Friday.
Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals. Tough to predict 1X2. I think Sporting is closer to win. I'm afraid Schalke will play defensive football which is not good for my bet but I'm pretty sure Sporting will open Schalke's game by scoring 2 goals in their net before they realize they cannot play anti-football.

Gazprom wins. Just joking. Tough to predict.
