Sporting CP vs Juventus 20.04.2023 Prediction: UEFA Europa League
Match Overview
Juventus travel to Estadio Jose Alaverde to tackle Sporting CP in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal on Thursday. While the Old Lady won the first leg by a narrow 1-0 scoreline, Sporting will know that such a marginal lead can be overturned anytime and that not a lot will prevent them from achieving such a result, least of all a fragile Juventus defence, which is known to be wayward away from home.
Key Highlights
Dusan Vlahovic and Angel Di Maria will hope to put a few early goals into the Sporting net to give Juventus an unassailable lead here on Thursday. However, saying that and achieving it in reality are two different ball games. Coates, Inacio and Diomande will be tough nuts to crack in the heart of the Sporting defence. Juan Cuadrado and Adrien Rabiot will be the key in the Italian side's midfield.
Injury Report
Jovan Cabral, Jerry St. Juste and Daniel Braganca are some of the players of Sporting who will miss out on this game owing to injuries that they, unfortunately, sustained earlier in the season. Juventus, on the other hand, do not have Moise Kean, Mattia de Sciglio and Alex Sandro available for selection due to injuries of their own.
Prediction
Juventus appear to be the downright favourites to win this game against Sporting. Despite playing at home, it is not expected of the Portuguese side to get the better of Juventus, who hail from the land of Italy. This might end up being a tight game by the end of the evening, but Juventus should emerge as the winner quite comfortably.
