Barcelona are unbeaten in both Europe and domestically this season, having dropped just six points across the first few months of the campaign. With a victory on Tuesday night, they can confirm their qualification for the knock-out stages in style.

Our FC Barcelona vs Sporting Clube de Portugal predictions are based on the hosts’ fantastic form in Catalonia, which makes backing a comfortable home win the way to go within our Champions League tips for the week.

The hosts have been excellent defensively this season, but Sporting have been a tough side to beat even on the road in Europe thus far. Juventus edged their way to a victory against them in Turin, and Barca should be capable of doing the same.

FC Barcelona vs Sporting Clube de Portugal Prediction and Betting Advice

Barcelona have kept a clean sheet at home against Juventus so far in the Champions League, with Valverde’s men looking very organised at the back. Marc-Andre ter Stegen has kept eight clean sheets in LaLiga, and Gerard Pique will be available to feature at the heart of the defence.

William Hill offer the best value on the hosts winning without letting a goal in at their own end, and it is very tempting given that in their league games, Barca have kept four clean sheets in six attempts. The home crowd at Camp Nou is used to seeing the likes of Samuel Umtiti keeping opponents comfortably at bay.

Sporting have scored in each of their away fixtures in this edition of the Champions League, but they are yet to come up against a side with the defensive strength and consistency that Barcelona are boasting this season. It should be a tough ask to try and get a foothold in the game and threaten Ter Stegen.

Ahead of our FC Barcelona vs Sporting Clube de Portugal bets, the hosts have been looking comfortable on their own patch. The visitors, meanwhile, have conceded two goals in their last two consecutive Champions League away fixtures.

Betfair offer the best odds on the Blaugrana winning by a two-goal margin in Catalonia, and given the fact that the away side haven’t been solid defensively while on their travels in Europe, they are there to be picked apart. The likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have been among the goals a fair amount recently.

Our FC Barcelona vs Sporting Clube de Portugal betting tips suggest that Barca will be capable of remaining unbeaten in Group D and booking their place in the next round via finishing in top spot. The Portuguese visitors have been vulnerable defensively in the Champions League and should be disposed of fairly easily.
