Is there a Nigerian angle in Sporting CP vs LASK?

Moses Usor is the Nigerian name to watch. The winger hurt his shoulder before the Liverpool game, and LASK coach Dietmar Kuhbauer said he hoped the injury would not take long to heal. Current team-news coverage lists him as out, so a return here looks unlikely. Track his minutes on our Nigerians in the Champions League tracker and in our six Nigerian Champions League stars guide.

How could Sporting CP vs LASK play out?

Sporting should control possession and test a LASK defence that has leaked seven goals in two games. Without Usor’s pace, the visitors have less of a counter-attacking threat. A comfortable Sporting win is the most likely outcome, though no result is guaranteed.
