The World Cup winner and Champions League veteran Götze shone at the weekend as the Eagles warmed up for Sporting in grand style with a sparkling 4-0 victory over RB Leipzig. Götze has played in 62 Champions League matches for former clubs Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. Because Daichi Kamada and newcomer Randal Kolo Muani were unable to participate in that contest, head coach Oliver Glasner is eager to use the group in Europe. Sebastian Rode, the Eagles’ captain, is out due to an injury sustained in the first half of their match against Leipzig. The Eagles, who advanced to the Champions League by winning the UEFA Europa League last season, are without Rode. If Rode doesn’t recover, the recent signing Eric Dina Ebimbe should once more play in midfield.

Sporting, who were champions two seasons ago and finished second to Porto last year, are currently ranked seventh in the Liga Portugal. The Lions lost to the champions and newly promoted Chaves twice before bouncing back on Friday to win 2-0 at Estoril. Jeremiah St. Juste, a former Mainz defender, scored his first goal for his new team in that match, while Marcus Edwards, an English winger, also scored. Sporting lost two outstanding central midfielders in the summer transfer window in Joao Palhinha (to Fulham) and Matheus Nunes (to Wolves), but they strengthened their offense by signing Francisco Trincao on a loan from Barcelona. Sebastian Coates, a former Liverpool defender, Pedro Porro, a Spanish wingback, and Pedro Goncalves, a Portuguese attacker, all shone in the group stage of the previous season, when Lisbon edged out Dortmund to go to the round of 16.
