With a 3-2 victory against Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic, the surprising Lens, current French Cup and Super Cup winners, also got off to a good start in the Champions League. In that match, Thauvin and Aguilar scored goals after the 90 minutes. While they currently sit in tenth place in Ligue 1, they will host Portuguese side Sporting CP on Tuesday.
The Lisbon Lions also started their Champions League campaign with a win, a 3-1 home victory against Galatasaray with goals from Catamo, Suarez (penalty), and Zalazar, who came back from an own goal conceded in the fifth minute. Sporting thus boasts a nine-match unbeaten run since the start of the season, and the international break didn't affect them, as they began October with a 3-1 away win against SC Braga.
Sporting Lisbon has a good opportunity to break their historically poor run of form in France, where they have only managed one win in their last eight visits.

Our Lens vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction
Sporting Lisbon undoubtedly qualifies as one of the hottest teams in Europe, having last lost in regulation time in April of this year.
Several players have certainly been instrumental in this run; one of them is Colombian striker Luis Suárez, who is just one goal away from becoming Sporting Lisbon's all-time leading scorer in the Champions League.
Our prediction for Lens vs Sporting CP Lisbon is: Sporting CP Lisbon to win.
