José Alvalade Stadium is set to host the exciting mid-week matchup between home side Sporting CP and visiting club Lille OSC on Tuesday in UEFA Champions League action.

Meanwhile, Lille won its first ever away trip to face a Portuguese side in Europe in August of 2004, which was a 2-0 victory over União de Leiria in the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Since then, however, the French club lost on each of its last three such trips, all without scoring a goal.
