Two evenly matched sides square off on Wednesday, 22 October 2025 when Sporting CP host Marseille at the Estadio José Alvalade in Lisbon. With both clubs on three points after two Champions League games, this Group C encounter promises to shape the knockout ambitions of each side. Kick-off is set for 21:00 CET, and here’s everything you need to know about where and how to watch the action live.
Match Preview: Sporting CP vs Marseille
Sporting Lisbon edged past Kairat 4-1 on matchday one but were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Napoli last time out. Though strong at home, Rui Borges’ side has struggled to build momentum, needing extra time and an own goal to get past Pacos Ferreira in the Portuguese Cup at the weekend. Still, they’ve taken points in four of their last five European home matches and are unbeaten in their last eight UEFA matches against French clubs.
Marseille, meanwhile, are surging. After a narrow loss to Real Madrid, Roberto De Zerbi’s men bounced back with a stunning 4-0 win over Ajax, followed by a 6-2 demolition of Le Havre in Ligue 1. They’ve now won five straight games across all competitions. However, their European away form remains suspect, with 11 defeats in their last 12 UCL away fixtures — the sole exception being a 2-0 win at this very stadium in 2022.
