The OPTA Supercomputer has revealed that Sporting will finish the league phase of the Champions League in the tenth position of the standings. The Lions will play, this Wednesday, October 22, the third round of the prestigious competition against the French team Marseille.

OPTA recently revealed the results of its supercomputer's calculations, which predicted the final standings of the league phase of the Champions League, based on the analysis of various data related to the 36 teams still in the competition at this moment.

Sporting is the best Portuguese team according to OPTA's calculations, with predictions that the Lions will finish in 10th place in the Champions League standings, just two places below the positions that guarantee direct passage to the round of 16 of the competition.

If this OPTA prediction holds, Sporting would be required to compete in the playoff for qualification to the Champions League round of 16.
