The only advantage for Sporting in this match is that they are playing at home and will definitely get the full support of the fans. However, even though Juventus have a slight aggregate advantage, it still cannot guarantee victory if they play defensively. I think juventus will have to go all out with what they have to ensure the next step towards the Europa League semi-finals.

So far Sporting's opportunities to reverse the aggregate are still wide open and they only need to win with a score of 2-0, but this is a bit difficult because Juventus will definitely score goals too, for this match I prefer to bet on the two teams scoring goals rather than having to bet for the victory of one of the teams.

Juventus must remain wary of Sporting Lisbon even though they are already 1-0 up. The Bianconeri have not good capital ahead of facing the second leg because they have also just suffered defeat in Serie A. Then, based on the 1st leg match, the Bianconeri also failed to control the game even though the result was a win.

The 2nd leg match which will be played at the Jose Alvalade Stadium will certainly be fierce. Sporting who get direct support from their fans will certainly be more motivated to catch up and try to win.

But in head to head, the Old Lady is superior to Sporting. Juventus, who have excelled, are also very ambitious to maintain their victory in order to qualify for the semifinals. It's interesting to see the mix of the two coaches in each of the teams to realize the targets to be achieved.

1-0 indeed is not secured scores for Juventus because possibly Sporting can reverse the situation and win with 2 goals margin or more but if we see the recent performance between these teams i think there is no big difference from them because Sporting also had poor records on their domestic league and they were still hard struggle to reach at champion league zone and last week also Sporting has lose their chances to beat Arouca FC at home and only gets draw result

If we see Juventus records during knockout phase they actually had impressive records and since playoff matches until quarterfinal Juventus has several times to win at their opponents home ground with cleansheet status and besides that Sporting also doesn't too strong at their home because according to their records Sporting has been lose several times on champion league group stage so in my opinion Juventus had good opportunities to gets at least draw results at Sporting home and advance to semifinal match
