Europa League betting and spectator preview: Sporting CP and Aberdeen meet at Estádio José Alvalade to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premiership game only four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Aberdeen have to travel 3000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Sporting CP form and stats
Sporting CP participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the 16th finals and lost against Istanbul Basaksehir.37 points is a decent return from 17 Primeira Liga games here at Estádio José Alvalade for Sporting CP. The data says 12 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses.
Sporting CP faced defeat in their previous match, away at Benfica (1-2). Heartbreak before that as Sporting CP lost 1-2 at Benfica's place.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Sporting CP home games with this odds we find eleven games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in eleven wins, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, six matches were won by at least two goals.
There will be little rest for Sporting CP after this match as they are travelling to Pacos de Ferreira for a Primeira Liga game in only three days.
The Sporting CP fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 17 matches. From these home matches, Sporting CP have conceded only 13 goals.
Aberdeen form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Viking and NSI in order to reach 3rd Qualifying Round of Europa League. They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the 3rd qualifying round.Aberdeen are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
Home advantage was not enough for Aberdeen in their previous game, as they lost their Premiership-match, hosting Motherwell, 0-3. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Viking at their stadium, the result 2-0.
Aberdeen lost heavily in their last match (against Motherwell as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Aberdeen played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected two times.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Premiership trip to Ross County.
