Game: BAYERN MUNICH vs SPORTING LISBON
Type: Champions League
Date: 10 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Bayern Munich's 5-0 thumping of Sporting in the 1st leg ensured that the visitors will have nothing but pride to play for in tonight's return leg. It would not be a surprise if Bayern decides to rest a few of their key players to avoid risking further injuries to the team. They have an upcoming Bundesliga match against Bochum as the race to win the title hots up.
Sporting Lisbon has an impossible task of overturning the 5 goal deficit but the odds are stacked against them to do so. Nevertheless, they have managed to remain unbeaten in their last 10 matches in the Portugese league, and will hope that this form can at least allow them to get something from this tie.

THE PICK
It might look like a foregone conclusion to this tie but SPORTING LISBON is capable of getting a respectable result at Bayern considering the fact that the home team will take things lightly here. Additionally, Bayern have not drawn in their last 9 home games hence a small punt on the draw of fixed odds might yield a healthy profit.
