Sporting CP will be hot favorites to continue their 100% start to the Champions League season, when they host unfancied LASK at the Estádio José Alvalade on Wednesday night.
The Portuguese side opened their campaign with a convincing 3-1 home win over Galatasaray, before producing a superb display in France to defeat Lens 0-2. Colombian striker Luis Suarez found the net in both of those victories, and the in-form frontman now has nine goals in ten games so far this season.
Suarez's red hot form could spell trouble for a LASK side that conceded six goals at home to Liverpool on Matchday Two. The Austrians did manage three goals of their own in that game, but overall they looked well short of the quality required to compete with the top sides in Europe.

Our Sporting Lisbon vs LASK Linz Prediction
This could be a long and miserable night for LASK.
The Austrians were hopeless defensively in the 6-3 defeat to Liverpool, so the last thing they need is a match-up against one of the hottest strikers in Europe.
Luis Suarez is in the form of his life at the moment, so he will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing a porous LASK backline.
Suarez is under 2.00 to score at any time, but we think you can get much better value by backing the frontman to score at least twice.
Our prediction for Sporting CP vs LASK is: Luis Suarez to score 2+ goals.
