The penultimate matchday of the UEFA Champions League group stage arrives as multiple teams look to book a spot in the last 16 over the next two days.

A victory plus a Sporting defeat will give the French side a place in the last 16. A win will assure them a place in the knockouts. Sporting cannot be guaranteed a top two finish, though they will be restricted to Europa League at best if they lose and Marseille wins. A win for either side will see them finish at least third at the expense of the other, who will end up in last place. They will not be able to finish second if they do not better Porto’s result. The Portuguese champions can join their opponents in the next round should they win and Atletico Madrid loses the other game. Salzburg cannot win the group regardless of the result, but will progress if they win and Milan fails to do the same. Last season’s [Europa League finalists](https://playingfor90.com/2022/05/17/europa-league-final-frankfurt-rangers/) cannot finish in the top two. Unbeaten through four games and having yet to concede, the Belgian champions face Porto knowing a point will see them finish top. The latter will finish bottom if they lose and the other game is drawn. Manchester City will face Borussia Dortmund at the Westfallenstadion, knowing a point will see them top the section. As for Shakhtar, they will enjoy knockout football in the UCL or UEL should they avoid defeat.

Spurs will make it a closer match than it needs to be but Kane and Perisic's performance will be just enough to see off an undermanned Sporting side. In a game that Ajax needs to win in order to stay in contention for the knockout stages of the tournament, stopping attacks from wide will be critical. The talented midfielder will dish a delightful assist to lock in a positive result and boss the midfield with his physicality. Combine that with a match where we know the Spanish club have to get forward, and this has all the makings of a Mane run in behind to put this one to bed. The Polish superstar will need to be at his best and get the required service for Barcelona to have any chance of taking the points. In the first match against BVB he scored the deciding goal of the match and all the odds are on him to score again -- this time away at his former stadium against his former club. This will be the most interesting duel of the game, considering that this will be the day of the comeback of Haaland to Dortmund after he left German soccer in the summer. A subscription not only gives you access to all the soccer you could want but also the [NFL](/nfl/) on CBS, and countless movies, shows and original content. Messi, Mbappe and Neymar will all fancy their chances of success in front of goal and Sergio Ramos' availability after domestic suspension will boost the back line. The Spaniard is growing in importance for PSG while the Israeli have proved to be a creative hub for Haifa and already notched an assist in the first meeting.
