Sporting Lisbon vs Juventus prediction for Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final second-leg fixture at Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon which kicks off at 20:00 UTC.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Sporting Lisbon to Win Or Draw – 1.38
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Over 1.5 Goals – 1.36
Sporting Lisbon drew their previous two home matches in the Europa League this season. In addition, the Portuguese side covered the double chance in 11 of their 13 home games in the Portuguese league. Juventus are undefeated in their last two UEL away games.
Sporting Lisbon will be on the offensive to recover from the one-goal deficit from the first leg. The same scenario happened in Juventus’s both away matches in the UEL and in both cases over 1.5 goals were scored.
Sporting Lisbon
Sporting Lisbon were the better side for some time against Juventus in the first leg and we can see that through their stats in the game. To illustrate, Sporting had 56% of ball possession and 17 goal attempts as opposed to Juve’s nine. Moreover, incredible back-to-back saves from Juve goalkeeper Perin denied Sporting an equalizer in the final minutes.
Juventus
Max Allegri was not satisfied with his team’s performance in the first leg and needs to see a much better performance in the second to gain qualification for the semis. The Bianconeri were outplayed by Sporting especially after scoring but two wins with clean sheets in their previous two away games in UEl will boost Juve’s confidence.
Sporting Lisbon: Adan; St. Juste, Coates, Inacio; Esgaio, Morita, Goncalves, Santos; Edwards, Chermiti, Trincao;
Juventus: Perin; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cuadrado, Pogba, Rabiot, Locatelli, Kostic; Di Maria, Chiesa;
