Sporting CP and Legia Warsaw meet in the Champions League 2016-17 group stage on Tuesday.

Few expected Sporting CP to stand a chance against Real Madrid in its first Champions League game. And yet there was the team in the 89th minute holding a 1-0 lead. If not from some magic from Real Madrid's top stars, the Portuguese side would have walked away with three points and a true chance to believe in the second round of this tournament.

There is still a lot of soccer to be played, but on the evidence of the opener, this side could yet compete for a top two spot.

The next challenge is likely the easiest - a home game against a Polish side that was battered 6-0 at home. Legia Warsaw did little to show that it could compete in the UCL and this should be a cakewalk for Sporting CP.

Prediction

The Portuguese side is the clear favorite after its first game. Expect a resounding 3-0 win at home.

Sporting CP and Legia Warsaw kick off at 2:45 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.
