The Opta supercomputer simulated the outcome of the Champions League 10,000 times, after the play-off draw, using betting odds as well as its power rankings, and Sporting has little chance of winning the lucrative competition.

The percentage chance of a green and white victory is only 1.87%. Nevertheless, it is a higher percentage than clubs like Atlético de Madrid, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, and Benfica. The Eagles have a 0.52% chance.

The teams with the best chances of winning the European competition are Chelsea (7.66%), Liverpool (9.21%), Manchester City (11.42%), Bayern Munich (14.38%), and the favorite Arsenal, with Viktor Gyokeres, with a 28.85% chance of final victory.

It is worth remembering that the Lions were also "targeted" by the Opta Supercomputer in the last round of the league phase, with a more favorable result. The Lions had these probabilities: Direct qualification for the round of 16: 37.4%; Qualification at least for the 'play-off': 100%..

Sporting will have to wait until the draw on February 27 to find out which opponent will be among the "16 best" of the old continent, which will then come from this quartet: Benfica (24th place), Bodo/Glimt (23rd), Real Madrid (9th), or Inter Milan (10th).
