Sporting CP – Juventus : Preview & Prediction
The quarterfinals of the Europa League are held this Thursday! We will have the right to a poster between Sporting Portugal and Juventus. It will be held this Thursday at 21:00, at Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. The Portuguese club will have no choice in this second round. They must win after their defeat in the first leg (1-0). The current 4th of the Liga Portugal is not in great shape these last weeks… It’s not necessarily better for Juventus, who lost their last 2 Serie A games. However, the Old Lady will travel with a non-negligible advantage.
Sporting Portugal is far from the podium of the Liga Portugal. They are in 4th place in the standings, 7 points behind SC Braga (3rd). It must be said that Ruben Amorim’s men have drawn two of their last three games. No doubt that they will want to bet big on the Europa League, especially after having eliminated Arsenal in the previous round. However, it is not going to be easy for them in the quarter-finals. The Portuguese club started with a defeat against Juventus, away (1-0). Certainly, the Bianconeri have lost their last 2 Serie A games. However, by recovering their 15-point penalty, they could move up to 3rd place in the standings. Still in the last four of the Italian Cup, the Old Lady will also try to continue in this European competition.
Sporting Portugal will have to deal with a few absentees for this quarterfinal second leg of the Europa League. Jeremiah St. Juste, Daniel Bragança, Jovane Cabral and Paulinho will not be able to play this match. Ruben Amorim will expect a lot from Pedro Gonçalves. He scored 2 goals and 2 assists in the last 2 rounds of the Portuguese League. Juventus will have to do without Mattia De Sciglio, Moise Kean and Kaio Jorge. Having already played a few minutes in the first game, Paul Pogba will be present. Massimiliano Allegri will also expect a lot from Dusan Vlahovic, who has not scored in 6 games with the Bianconeri.
