Kwadwo Asamoah anticipates tough clash against Sporting CP in UCL

Juventus midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah is relishing a stern clash against Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon in week 4 of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

The Italian champions have started the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League campaign brightly after collecting six points from three games.

The Bianconeri, meanwhile, have not had it easy in the Italian Serie A as they are occupying third spot, three points adrift of leaders SS Napoli after eleven round of matches.

But ahead of their clash against Sporting Lisbon, the Old Lady will feel confident going into the clash following their convincing 2-0 victory over giants AC Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday.

Asamoah believes Juventus stand a chance of picking maximum points in Portugal but concedes that it will be tough.

"We are going to win in Portugal. If we get three points, we have big guarantees to get out of the group but we know it will not be an easy game because Sporting is a very good team when playing at home."

Juventus recorded a 2-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon in the round of Group D at the Allianz Stadium fortnight ago.
