Besiktas had lost 2-0 on the road the last match-day against Ajax in the Champions League, while Sporting lost 1-0 on the road against Borussia Dortmund.
Going on, though just two games are over in the Group Stages, Ajax and Dortmund already have a six-point lead each over the other two teams, and seem well-set to make it to the Round of 16.
As such, there is a direct race between the other two teams for the third position, and thus an entry into the Europa League. On that account, a win in the upcoming encounter is supremely important for Besiktas as well as Sporting.
And with the form of their defenses so far in European games, expect a high-scoring affair this Tuesday in this crucial game.
However, Sporting appear to be in far better form that their counterparts for the day, and they also have a better h2h record. Likely, expect them to secure a hard-fought win.

尽管小组赛只结束了两场比赛，但阿贾克斯和多特蒙德已经各自领先其他两支球队6分，似乎很有可能进入16强。
因此，其他两支球队将直接争夺第三名，从而进入欧罗巴联赛。因此，对贝西克塔斯和竞技队来说，下一场比赛的胜利都是至关重要的。
鉴于他们目前在欧洲赛场上的防守形式，预计在周二这场至关重要的比赛中会有一场高得分的比赛。
然而，体育似乎在更好的形式为他们的同行，他们也有一个更好的h2h记录。很可能，他们会获得一场来之不易的胜利。
