Sporting vs Juventus

Sporting heads into this fixture after a 1-1 Primeira Liga stalemate against Arouca. This hiccup could likely cost them a place in the Champions League next season, but they still have a chance if they win this competition. However, it won’t be easy since the Lions are 1-0 down after the game at Allianz Stadium. In their prior six fixtures, Rúben Amorim's Sporting have found the net a total of 9 times, with that being an average number of goals scored per match of 1.5. Jovane (Unknown Injury), Paulinho (Unknown Injury), Daniel Bragança (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), and Jerry St. Juste (Muscle Injury) won’t be able to feature for Sporting manager Rúben Amorim.

After tasting defeat last time out to Sassuolo in Serie A action, Juventus and their traveling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one. Bianconeri’s hopes for the top-four finish have vanished now, but they want to challenge for the Europa League trophy. For 5 of the previous six clashes involving Juventus, a comparatively low number of goals have gone in between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game in that period is a mere 1.5, with the average goals for Juve equalling 0.83. That trend might not follow through into this match, of course. Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Mattia De Sciglio (Muscle Fatigue), Kaio Jorge (Fitness), and Moise Kean (Muscular problems) won’t be making appearances.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

It is not easy to play at Estádio José Alvalade, but Sporting hasn’t been too confident lately. We think Juventus is capable enough of staying undefeated in this outing and progressing to the semi-finals.

Goals Market Prediction

Sporting has enough quality to score at least once in this encounter, but we doubt they will keep the clean sheet. Therefore, the crowd should see both teams scoring in this match on Thursday evening.

Juventus AH +0.5 @ 1.72

BTTS Yes @ 2.00

Correct score 1:1 @ 6.30

Sevilla vs Manchester United

Previously, Sevilla secured a valuable 2-0 win away to Valencia in the latest La Liga match. Thanks to that victory, the hosts moved away from the danger zone in the Spanish top flight. José Mendilibar's Sevilla has turned their attacks into goals eight times in the course of their most recent six matches. The total of goals that have been scored against them during those matches adds up to 6. Last Thursday, Sevilla managed to pull out a comeback after trailing 2-0. Thanks to a completely injury-free squad available to select from, the Sevilla boss José Mendilibar doesn’t have any fitness worries at all before this match. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Pape Gueye and Tecatito.

Manchester United will go into this meeting following on from a 0-2 Premier League win with the defeat of Nottingham Forest in their last outing. The Red Devils stayed in the top-four zone, but they want to make another step forward in this competition. Erik ten Hag's Manchester United has seen their efforts on goal rewarded ten times in the course of their latest six matches. The aggregate of goals that have been scored against them during that period adds up to 5. Man Utd needs to keep the focus through the entire 90 minutes in this match if they want to secure a ticket for the semi-finals.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

It is going to be an exciting clash, especially since Sevilla is highly inspired by this competition. We could easily see this game going to extra time, knowing that the hosts can turn their focus to Europa League now.

Goals Market Prediction

Their h2h clashes have always been entertaining, and this one shouldn’t be much different. Therefore, we don’t believe either team will keep its net intact on Thursday evening.

Draw @ 3.65

BTTS Yes @ 1.75

Correct score 1:1 @ 7.00
