Juventus will host Sporting at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday in the fourth round of their 2025-26 UEFA Champions League campaign. The home side endured a difficult run of results between September and October, prompting the dismissal of head coach Igor Tudor but have since returned to winning ways and will hope to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week.
The Old Lady suffered a narrow but largely unsurprising 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu in their last Champions League outing, leaving them 25th in the table with just two points from a possible nine. They will be desperate to pick up their first win of the tournament this week under new boss Luciano Spalletti.
Sporting, meanwhile, have won two of their three Champions League games this term and are well on course to improve on last season's 23rd-place league-phase finish.

Juventus vs Sporting Prediction
Juventus are on a run of back-to-back victories after going winless in their previous eight games. They are undefeated at the Allianz Stadium since late March and will head into the midweek clash as favorites but will need to be at their very best to come away with maximum points.
Leões are on a brilliant five-game winning streak and have lost just one of their last 11 across all competitions. They fell 2-1 to Napoli on their most recent visit to Italy but have a solid chance of earning a draw against an inconsistent Juventus team.
