Bernardo Ribeiro predicts Sporting v Bodo/Glimt clash, fears the worst | OneFootball

Bernardo Ribeiro analyzed the current situation of Sporting, who face a tough mission as they try to overturn a 3-0 deficit against Bodø/Glimt. He emphasized the complicated context, highlighting that the Norwegians arrive at Alvalade “comfortable and without pressure” and does not foresee the Lions advancing to the next round.

In the same analysis, he mentions Rui Borges’s idea that a perfect game will be necessary, but Bernardo Ribeiro goes even further: “Rui Borges says a perfect game is needed. I would say that not only a perfect game is needed… but also for the Norwegians to have a completely imperfect one,” he wrote in the newspaper 'Record'.

The columnist is also quite direct in his assessment of the green and white team’s current form, raising doubts about their ability to pull off a comeback of this scale: “The truth is harsh: the Lions are not playing well enough for feats of this magnitude,” he writes.

Even so, Bernardo Ribeiro does not completely rule out the possibility of a surprise, although he does not appear very confident: “But football lives off these whims, these days when logic hides. Good luck to Sporting. They’ll need it. And a lot of it.”

Sporting will be back on the pitch this Tuesday, March 17, against Bodø/Glimt. The match, counting for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against the Norwegian side, will be played at 5:45 p.m. at the Estádio José Alvalade.
