Sporting Lisbon vs Juventus 20.04.2023

Sporting Lisbon will be looking to produce another giant-killing performance when they welcome Juventus to the Estadio Jose Alvalade in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League 1/8 Finals. Despite putting in a great display in the first leg, Sporting was ultimately beaten 1-0 by Juve thanks to Gatti’s lone goal. However, Sporting has already shown what they are capable of in this competition by sensationally defeating Arsenal 3-2 on aggregate in the 1/8 finals. They will need to produce a similar showing here if they are to stand any chance of getting past Juve. With home advantage in their favor this time around, Sporting will be confident of turning things around and progressing to the semi-finals.

As for Juventus, they will be looking to build on their impressive away record in the UEFA Europa League as they bid to secure a place in the semi-finals of the competition. The Italian Champions have not lost in any of their travels in the knockout rounds of this competition. Easier said than done, Juventus will have to improve their goal-scoring form (0.80 goals in 5 matches) to stand a chance. They have been boosted by the return of Paul Pobga in the midfield, who will likely inject the squad with his creativity to increase their goal-scoring chances.

Sporting Lisbon will be facing one of the most experienced sides in European football. Nonetheless, with the passionate support of their fans behind them, anything is possible on Thursday night. And we are backing them to start strong and find the back of the net first!
