Atalanta are top of the Europa League group at the moment
Atalanta may have been a bit out of touch in Serie A, but they have done really well in the Europa League so far. They are unbeaten with three wins and one draw in their four matches. In order to reach the next round, Atalanta needs a point. They have not been very good in recent weeks and lost to Napoli last week. Atalanta will likely go full steam in this match since a place in the next round is not yet secured.
Last season, Sporting CP finished fourth, but they have revamped themselves this season and have achieved amazing results so far. They are tied at the top with Benfica in the league while in their last match, they thumped Dumiense 8-0 in the Portugal Cup match. With two matchdays left, they will be looking to dethrone Atalanta from the top and secure their place in the round of 32.

Form:
Atalanta (in all competitions): W-L-W-D-L

Player to Watch
Gianluca Scamacca (Atalanta)
After a miserable season in the Premier League last season, Gianluca Scamacca has found a new life at Atalanta in Italy this season. He has scored five goals for them and has looked back to his former self. Sporting CP will be looking to mark him specifically due to his influence on Atalanta’s attack.
Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP)
Many people were surprised when Viktor Gyokeres arrived from the EFL this summer, but he’s proved everyone wrong. With seven goals and four assists in his 10 appearances in the league, the Swedish has been a sensation for them. Apart from his ability to score goals, he is a real asset because of his contribution while out of possession.
