Line-up questions

When are the official Shakhtar Donetsk vs Sporting CP line-ups published?

Clubs in the UEFA Champions League release the team sheet about 60 minutes before kick-off. This page refreshes every few minutes inside that window and swaps the predicted XI for the confirmed one.

How is the probable XI predicted?

We start from each side's last confirmed starting eleven, remove injured and suspended players from the fixture injury feed, and adjust for the coach's recent formation pattern and press-conference team news.

Does the line-up change the prediction?

Yes. Line-ups feed the prediction model: when a key starter is confirmed out, the win probabilities, expected goals and the projected score are regenerated.
