It would take one of the great Champions League upsets for Sporting CP to knock Manchester City out and progress to the quarter-finals.
Man City were supreme in their 5-0 first-leg victory at Estádio José Alvalade, pulling the Portuguese side apart to send a message to the rest of the clubs still in the competition.
However comfortable their advantage may seem, Pep Guardiola will be taking no chances as the Champions League is the one trophy that his club are desperate to win.
It’s a free-hit for Sporting in many ways but they will be determined to give their travelling fans something to cheer about.
Rúben Amorim’s side are second in Liga Portugal Bwin, six points back from leaders FC Porto, and came second in Champions League Group C – beating out Borussia Dortmund on goal difference.

Our prediction: Man City v Sporting CP
Man City have one foot in the quarter-finals already but we can still expect a fairly strong side to be named at the Etihad by Guardiola.
Sporting are going to have to go all guns blazing to try and turn the tie on its head, which should mean there is plenty of space for the likes of Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish to exploit.
The Portuguese side may find a breakthrough at some point but it’s unlikely they’ll be able to stem the flow of Man City attacks the other way.
Our prediction: Man City 4-1 Sporting CP (14/1 at bet365)
