Sporting Lisbon – Almaty Tip Champions League, Matchday 1 on Thursday, 09/18/25 at 9:00 p.m.
The Kazakhs have made it onto television, as many soccer fans far beyond their own country’s borders will also want to watch the game on Thursday.
However, I still don’t believe in a soccer miracle in my Sporting Lisbon Almaty prediction. And no reputable sports betting provider, old or new, is willing to seriously believe in a surprise here.
I can understand that, as the underdog has not even scored in 5 of its last 6 European Cup games – and that was mostly against opponents significantly weaker than SCP.

“Sporting, score another goal!” – that’s roughly the motto of our AI model and the Sporting Lisbon vs. Almaty tips it has generated for you.
A SCP win with HC -3 would require a landslide victory – but this could actually happen. The visitors are 7,200 km away from home and simply not used to such strong competition.
With generous odds of around 2.80, it’s worth taking the risk!

Half-time/Full-time 1/1 and the popular selection SCP scores at least one goal in both halves can be added to your betting slip at Sporting Lisbon Almaty odds of 1.50 on average.
It may be that the Portuguese have not been a reliable betting partner for these two types of bets so far, as they have not won any of their last six Champions League games (2 draws, 4 defeats).
But this very fact could spur them on even more on Wednesday – true to the motto: If not now, then when?
