Prediction: 2-0
Sporting
Juventus play host to Sporting at their Allianz Stadium in a highly-anticipated Europa League game. The Bianconeri aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to, and they are seen as favourites to win the first leg. Moise Kean is back from the Serie A ban, while Paul Pogba remains in the recovery room. Fit-again winger Federico Chiesa is pushing for a start, as well as defender Danilo, who replaced Juan Cuadrado at the weekend.
The Lisbon Lions, on the other hand, head into the match following a thrilling 4-3 win over Casa Pia. Sporting did well to eliminate Arsenal in the last 16, but seeing that Juve have been impressive on home soil of late, we are tempted to put our money on Max Allegri’s troops. Midfielder Manuel Ugarte is banned for the visiting side following his sending off in the triumph over Arsenal, while all Braganca, Cabral, and Paulinho should miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Angel di Maria):
