The Europa League match between Sporting Lisbon and Atalanta will take place at Estadio Jose Alvalade on Wednesday at 11:15 pm IST.
Sporting Lisbon and Atalanta BC are playing each other again in the Europa League. This time, Sporting Lisbon will be hosting the game at Estadio Jose Alvalade. Both teams already played against each other in the group stage, and Atalanta did better, earning four points out of six. However, Atalanta is dealing with more injuries now compared to before.
Ruben Amorim, the coach of Sporting, joked about having an easy scouting report for Atalanta before their Wednesday match. However, Sporting shouldn’t underestimate Atalanta, despite their previous struggles against them. Sporting enters the knockout stage in better form than Atalanta and has succeeded in recent Europa League knockout matches. Sporting’s strong home record in the round of 16 adds to their confidence, with four unbeaten games. Despite uncertainty about the outcome, Sporting’s recent success in all competitions, winning seven out of nine matches, should boost their confidence ahead of facing Atalanta.
If this match had happened a couple of weeks ago, Atalanta wouldn’t have been worried. However, after suffering two consecutive defeats, their confidence is low. They were heavily beaten 4-0 by Inter Milan and then lost 2-1 to Bologna at home, their first home loss since November 2023. Their coach was disappointed with the four minutes that led to two goals against Bologna. Atalanta now aim to bounce back from their three-game winless streak and secure their fourth European win against Sporting Lisbon. They’ve had a good record in the Europa League, losing only two of their last 20 matches, which is promising for their upcoming game on Wednesday.
Sporting Lisbon probable starting lineup: Israel, Diomande, Coates, Reis, Esgaio, Hjulmand, Braganca, Santos, Trincao, Gyokeres, Edwards
Atalanta BC probable starting lineup: Musso, Scalvini, Djimsiti, Kolasinac, Hateboer, Pasalic, Ederson, Bakker, Koopmeiners, De Ketelaere, Lookman
