Team News

Atalanta
Sporting
  • Atalanta should only be without El Bilal Toure for this clash.
  • Marcus Edwards is unlikely to be involved from the start here, having been involved in a car accident on Wednesday morning.

Prediction

  • Group D's top two meet here, in a clash that could very well decide how the group top half will look come the end of matchday six.
  • Atalanta are the leaders, with 10 points from their four matches thus far, leaving them three points clear of their opponents on Thursday evening.
  • The Italian side have already secured qualification for the Europa League's knockout stages, and could seal first place with a victory here.
  • Sporting were victorious in their last group stage game, against Rakow Czestochowa, and have now won four of their last five matches in all competitions.
  • This one looks tough to call, but a home victory would appear the most likely outcome.

  • Easy peasy more than 2.5 goals. Can't go wrong with 2.5+ goals whenever Atalanta plays.
