The club’s offense showed rather solid football, having scored nine goals in five clashes conducted while its defense had made too many mistakes resulted in eight goals conceded. Sporting have gained three victories over Ferreira, Rio Ave and Plzen with the same 2:0 scoreline in the latest tackles hosted at “Estadio Jose Alvalade”.

Atletico Madrid have become remarkably powerful club in recent years. The side demonstrates confident play, but this season is a bit unsuccessful for the team as “Los Colchoneros” had been eliminated for the UEFA Champions League. However, the Spaniards managed to knock out Lokomotiv Moscow and FC Copenhagen on the previous stages of the UEFA Europa League. “Los Indios” showed solid and massive performance in attack, having scored 15 goals while their defense looked simply incredible with only two goals conceded. In the latest fights conducted on the road Atletico Madrid have got 1:1 draw against Real Madrid, 1:2 loss from Villarreal and thrashing 5:1 victory over Lokomotiv Moscow.
Sporting failed in the first-leg battle against Atletico Madrid with 0:2 scoreline. “Los Colchoneros” shouldn’t waste such handicap, therefore, “Leoes” are not likely to succeed even at the home turf. The Spaniards will lead the game, meaning not many scored goals on Thursday evening.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
