It seemed if sporting was dominating the match even though the game played in allianz arena. Sporting was making so many goal attempts against juventus. The only problem if the team is lack proper finishing. I hope that sporting will able to do the same when juventus will be playing away. Losing 1-0 is not a hard score to catch up. Sporting may try to repeat the same result against arsenal. Sporting lisbon is a black horse in the europa league right now. The second leg gonna be a very interesting match. Juventus will be getting so much pressure from sporting.
Im sure about this by seeing the statistic from the first leg. Sporting was able to prevent juventus to get big ball possessions. The second leg gonna be crazy match for sporting.
Sporting have been unlucky at Allianz, but they still have a good chance in the second leg. Juventus are not safe just by winning 1 goal in the first leg, so I have not removed Sporting from the chance to qualify for the Europa League semi-finals this season.
Sporting will likely try to do better at home in the second leg. If they fail to score in the first leg, then they should be able to find a solution in the second leg. Sporting's advantage is that they will be playing at home, but they also have an advantage because Juventus didn't have many goals in the first leg.
Yes, even though they lost, Sporting Lisbon's chances are still open in the 2nd leg which will be played at the Jose de Alfalade Stadium in Lisbon. If you see the game that the Portuguese representative displayed, Allegri must immediately evaluate his squad, which appeared less than convincing. But I'm sure Juventus will be able to maintain their advantage in the second leg later. Usually teams from Italy if they are able to outperform their opponents then they will be very strong to maintain that result. The team from Italy is also known to be very strong in defense. Juventus, who are also trained by native Italians, will really understand Cattenacio's tactics. I'm sure Allegri will implement that strategy to stem the attacks from Sporting Lisbon.
