Atalanta vs Sporting Lisbon Predictions

• Sporting have only lost one of their last 20 games in all competitions
• Atalanta have failed to win their last five matches
• Five of Sporting’s last six outings have seen both teams score

Hosts are short enough

Sporting and Atalanta are meeting for the fourth time this season after the pair drew each other in this Europa League round of 16 clash following their two group stage meetings.

The pair shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw in the first leg and after the weekend’s 3-0 win over Arouca, the Portuguese visitors have now only lost one of their last 20 games in all competitions.

By contrast Atalanta are winless in their last five matches and look short enough to get the win. Sporting manager Ruben Amorim and striker Viktor Gyokeres have been the subject of plenty of speculation this season and the pair can help keep this clash close.

Atalanta look short enough to get the win and Sporting are fancied in the double chance market to at least take this matchup to extra time.

Little to choose between teams

These teams have drawn their last two meetings 1-1 and there may be little to choose between this pair here. Atalanta have drawn three of their last five matches and another stalemate is a big runner.

Correct score backers should side with another 1-1 tie in what could be another clash that is too close to call.
