Prediction: 1-1
Atalanta
There will be fireworks when Sporting CP and Atalanta square off against each other in Lisbon in a highly-anticipated Europa League game. The Lions aim to extend their winning run in all competitions to five games and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Towering defender Sebastian Coates limped off with injury in a 3-2 win over ten-man Farense at the weekend, with Matheus Reis likely to step up.
The Orobici, on the other hand, played out a boring goalless draw with Juventus in the Serie A derby on Sunday, but given Coates’ absence, we predict that the visitors are going to find the net in Thursday’s encounter. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Scamacca, Toure, and Vorlicky are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
