In Sporting, the presence of Pedro Gonçalves stands out. The 23-year-old Portuguese midfielder is the team's top scorer so far in the tournament with four goals.

In Ajax, the presence of Sebastien Haller stands out. The Ivorian is one of the top scorers so far in the competition with nine goals.

These two teams have met on three occasions. The statistics are in favor of Sporting, who won two matches, while Ajax won the remaining game.

Sporting is apparently qualified, but nothing is set in stone in soccer and although only a catastrophe can take away the second place it holds so far, it must work to get the result it needs to avoid depending on what happens between Dortmund and Besiktas.

Ajax comes into this match already qualified to the next round of the UEFA Champions League. The team coached by Erik ten Hag wants one more victory to achieve a perfect score in the group stage.

The Ajax vs Sporting CP match will be played at the Johan Cruyff Arena, located in the city of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. This venue, inaugurated in 1996, has a capacity for 54,990 spectators.

My name is Jhonatan Martinez and I will be your host for this match. We will bring you pre-match analysis on VAVEL.
