We said: Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Sporting Lisbon

Tottenham would do well to take advantage of Sporting's absentees this week, especially given their penchant for goals at home, but it is difficult to back Conte's side with any real confidence while Kulusevski is not there to pick the lock. Sporting's own attacking prowess will be taken down a notch without top goalscorer and top assister Goncalves, but barring any more moments of madness from Amorim's side, we can envisage a low-scoring stalemate as Tottenham share the points in Europe's premier competition for the first time in over a decade.
