Under the management of Rui Borges, Sporting CP employs a tactical approach that emphasizes fluid attacking play and solid defensive organization, making them a formidable opponent at home.

Nonetheless, the supporters at Estádio José Alvalade are known for creating an electrifying atmosphere, which can be an added advantage for the home side.
