Italian heavyweights Atalanta welcomes Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon to the Gewiss Stadium for the second leg encounter of the Europa League’s round of 16 this season. The first leg saw these two sides play out a stalemate, a 1-1 draw which leaves the game very open for either team.

Atalanta heads into this game winless in their last six games In all competitions. Their last game in the Serie A division saw them play out a 2-2 draw against Juventus last week. In this game, we expect the host to play out on the front as they aim to make a statement in the match after such an abysmal performance in the past weeks. However, the home team will come up against a very strong Sporting Lisbon team. The visitors head into this match as underdogs and ambitious outsiders, brilliant in the first leg of this tie and will also be keen to avoid a defeat here.

Furthermore, Sporting Lisbon head into this tie undefeated in their last 10 matches in all competitions. Last weekend saw them secure a comfortable 3-0 victory against Arouca which we believe will boost their morale as they head into this crucial game .

In this game, our suggestion is an away win or draw to the visitors. We believe Sporting Lisbon’s grit and compactness at the back end of the pitch makes them favorite to prevent a defeat here.

Also, on the two occasions these two teams have met previously, the visitors have been able to prevent a defeat consecutively; hence we expect them to once more win or draw this match against a team who is lacking in confidence at the end of the match time.

意甲劲旅亚特兰大欢迎葡萄牙球队里斯本竞技来到Gewiss体育场进行本赛季欧联杯16强第二回合的交锋。首回合双方打成1-1平局，双方都有很大的优势。

亚特兰大在过去的六场比赛中没有赢过这场比赛。上周，他们在意甲联赛的最后一场比赛以2比2战平尤文图斯。在这场比赛中，我们希望东道主在过去几周的糟糕表现后，能够在比赛中脱颖而出。然而，主队将面对一支非常强大的里斯本竞技队。客队在这场比赛中处于劣势和雄心勃勃的局外人的身份，在这场比赛的第一回合表现出色，也将渴望避免在这里失败。

此外，里斯本竞技在最近10场比赛中保持不败。上周末他们以3-0轻松战胜阿鲁卡，我们相信这将鼓舞他们的士气，迎接这场关键的比赛。

在这场比赛中，我们的建议是客场取胜或与客队打平。我们相信里斯本竞技在球场后场的坚韧和紧凑使他们最有希望在这里避免失败。

此外，在这两支球队之前的两次交锋中，客队都能够连续避免失败;因此，我们希望他们能在这场比赛中再次战胜一支在比赛结束时缺乏信心的球队。
