Sporting’s chances of progressing in the Champions League revealed | OneFootball

Despite the defeat in Naples, Sporting remains aware that they are still in the fight for qualification to the next phase of the Champions League. For now, Rui Borges's team has three points from two matches played, but there is still a long way to go, and Opta's supercomputer gives hope to the lions.

After these two rounds, the platform specialized in monitoring sports data has reassessed each team's chances of advancing, or at least securing a playoff spot for the round of 16 of the prestigious competition.

According to the calculations, the supercomputer gives Sporting a 63.94% chance of securing a place in the playoffs - although only a 9.24% chance of the lions qualifying directly for the round of 16. To reach the quarter-finals, the Alvalade Club has a 14.54% chance, 5.14% to advance to the semi-finals, and only 1.78% to reach the final. The probability of Rui Borges's team winning the Champions League stands at 0.64%.

With the defeat in Naples, Sporting has three points in the Champions League and occupies the 14th place in the standings, currently in a playoff spot for the next phase. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and PSG complete the podium, with six points.

Sporting will return to the field only next Sunday, October 5th, against Braga. The match, counting for the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade, at 19:15.
