The second legs of the Europa League quarterfinals take place this week and on the 20th of April we have a meeting between Sporting Club and Juventus.
The Italian club won the first leg 1-0 in Turin and Sporting Club know they need to score at least one goal if they are to have any chance of reaching the semi-final.
Sporting Club come into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw at home against Arouca in the Primeira Division on the weekend.
It was Arouca who opened the scoring in the 38th minute and Sporting Club needed a penalty in the 87th minute to take a point. The draw means Sporting Club remain 4th in the league, some way off the top three teams.

There have been draws against Gil Vicente away and Arouca at home in the Portuguese league plus the 1-0 defeat at Juventus in the first leg of this Europa League tie.
Sporting Club are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 Europa League fixtures. They are undefeated in 7 of their last 8 home Europa League matches but have failed to win any of their last 3 games on home soil in the competition.
Juventus travel to Lisbon having lost 1-0 at Sassuolo in Serie A on the weekend. The only goal of the match was scored in the 64th minute and the result dealt a blow to their chances of finishing in the top four this season.
The defeat at Sassuolo means Juventus have recorded only 1 win from their last 4 fixtures in all competitions.
The victory came in the first leg of this tie in Turin but there have been defeats against Lazio and Sassuolo away in Serie A and a 1-1 draw at home with Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg.
Trends show Juventus are undefeated in their 6 most recent Europa League games. They have won each of their last 4 Europa League matches, including their last 2 away fixtures at Nantes and Freiburg.
Juventus have been good defensively on the road in the Europa League and have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
Looking ahead to the team news and Sporting Club are without the injured duo of Jerry St. Juste and Jovane Cabral. They also have doubts over the fitness of Daniel Bragança.
Juventus make the trip to Lisbon without the injured trio of Moise Kean, Alex Sandro, and Mattia De Sciglio. Froward Kaio Jorge is a doubt.
Sporting Lisbon must attack in this game but could find it difficult to break down the Juventus defence.
The Italian club have been keeping clean sheets on the road in the Europa League and could come away with a narrow 1-0 win to progress to the semi-final.
