The match

Juventus have struggled a bit in recent matches and as they switch gears to continental football, a home win over Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon will be the target in the first leg of their Europa league quarter final. Home and away wins over Freiburg in the last round handed Juventus the ticket to the quarters but coming into this game they are without a win in the last two matches. In their most recent game, they lost 2-1 to Lazio in the Italian Serie A, complicating their chances at finishing in the top four in a very tumultuous season. The dropped points in that game can only fire up Juventus for this encounter as the Europa League remains one of their realest pathways back to Champions league football. With a good scoring run, having netted in each of their last seven games, Juventus will feel confident of getting the first leg advantage here. A home run of eight undefeated outings will boost that as well, but they have just two clean sheets in six home matches, with both sides scoring in the other four.

Sporting Lisbon take into this game a run of 11 matches without defeat. They drew home and away with Arsenal in the last round of this competition but won on post match penalties at the Emirates. That feat and their recent run, should build their confidence coming into this game. The Portuguese giants are coming from a 4-3 win over Casa Pia in their domestic league, a game in which Trincao scored a hat trick to take his tally to four goals in three matches. Sporting will welcome back veteran Sebastian Coates who was suspended for the Emirates game, but will be without Manuel Ugarte who was sent off at Arsenal. They are also dealing with a few injuries to key players, and Paulinho, who was key in the Arsenal tie, will be a notable absentee. Sporting are unbeaten in the last four Europa League matches but they’ve drawn three. They’ve scored in each of their last five Europa League matches.

Key Statistics

The bet of our experts

Juventus have a good run at home and will hope it counts when they take on Sporting, who are unbeaten in the last 11 matches.
