Match begins: 19:00 (UTC)
Venue: Juventus Training Center (41507 seats)

It's game one of two in the Europa League as Juventus host Sporting CP. This is a Quarter-finals fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.

Sporting CP have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga Portugal. That game, against Casa Pia, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sporting CP.

Juventus form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the group stage.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Juventus Training Center as Juventus have scored 34 goals to get 36 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 11-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). On the other hand, in the Europa League, Juventus has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.

Juventus are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Lazio. Defender Sandro got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.35/10. Sandro hit one key pass and won 8 of 10 duels.

A 1-1 result against Inter before that, played at their own home stadium in the Coppa Italia. The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Juventus handle that role? We have found 8 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

The manager Allegri will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sassuolo in only three days.

Sporting CP form and stats

Sporting CP was sent out of Champions League in the group stage last season.

As the visiting team in Liga Portugal matches, Sporting CP have produced an overall stat of 7-3-4 so far. Total Europa League statistics for Sporting CP: 1 win, 3 draws and 0 losses.

It's the second away game in a row for Sporting CP, but there's smiles all around after the 4-3 victory versus Casa Pia last time out. A bizarre match with heaps of goals last time out for Sporting CP, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Trincão certainly enjoyed Sporting CP's last game versus Casa Pia, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-3 victory. Midfield player Gonçalves was the top player of the team with a match rating of 9.91/10. Gonçalves scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A 0-0 draw at Gil Vicente's stadium before that.

After this away game Sporting CP return home for a Liga Portugal game against Arouca. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Read more about Europa League

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
