It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Beşiktaş and Sporting CP.
Sporting CP have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Sporting CP play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-0 victory visiting CF Os Belenenses. As mentioned above, Sporting CP was the only team on the pitch versus CF Os Belenenses in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
Preceding that game was the away Primeira Liga victory against Arouca with the score of 2-1.A quick return to home after this game, as Sporting CP are hosting Moreirense in the Primeira Liga only four days away.
