The Sporting CP visits the Club Brugge on the sixth day of Champions League to continue to amaze and to remain in the top 8 in the rankings. Pereira obviously chooses Gyokeres in attack, but gives up Edwards and Harder, as well as Debast, while Pedro Goncalves is injured. Among the hosts, however, there is only one absence, that of Meijer and Hayen opts for the attacking pair of Tzolis and Jutgla. Below are the official lineups:
Club Brugge (3-5-2): Mignolet; Seys, Ordonez, Mechele; Skov Olsen, Jashari, Vanaken, Onyedika, De Cuyper; Jutgla, Tzolis. Coach: Hayen.
Sporting CP (3-4-2-1): Israel; Quaresma, Diomande, Inacio; Catamo, Hjulmand, Simoes, Quenda; Araujo, Trincao; Gyokeres. Coach: Pereira.
