Preview

Sporting and Wolfsburg face of at José de Alvalade Stadium on this match of the second leg of the Europa League top 32.

Sporting has been very inconsistent on their last few matches. However, the home’s team morale is high right now, coming from a 2-0 win at home against Gil Vicente with a must watch Nani goal. The home team is 3rd on the Portuguese League with 44 points.

On the other side, Wolfsburg comes into this match with a win against Hertha last round (2-1). The German team has a 2-0 advantage on the round and is now 2nd on the Bundesliga table.

The head-to-head history between the teams has only one event, the 2-0 win for Wolfsburg on the fisrt leg, which points to a slight superiority of the Germans.

Analysis Sporting CP

The Portuguese capital’s team has shown good football frequently. However, its inconsistency has made their results falter and they have lost some momentum and confidence.

The “Lions” coach will probably opt for a 4-3-3 tactic scheme in order to maintain the team’s game routines.

As such, we expect that the midfield players will be Adrien, William and João Mario. The last one taking a more offensive role closer to the opponent’s box.

The 3 forward men will be Nani, Carrillo and Montero, with the Colombian being the target man, adopting as usual a more mobile approach to draw the opposite defenders out.


Confirmed Lineup: Rui Patrício, Cédric Soares, Jonathan Silva, Paulo Oliveira, Tobias Figueiredo, William Carvalho, André Carrillo, João Mário, Adrien Silva, Junya Tanaka, Nani.

Analysis Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg has some top European names on their squad, and it would appear that Coach Hecking as finally been able to get them to play together. Even the top teams on the league are faltering when facing them.

Vieirinha and André Schurrle are the wing player, responsible for dynamizing the team’s offensive football and serving their main threat, Das Bost.

On the mid field. De Bruyne has been the main offensive builder of the team, bringing his long range striking, and great ball recuperation skills to bear.

Wolfsburg´s main weakness is their defensive balance. The players sometimes take too long to react to the loss of ball possession. Which can cause numeric inferiority situations for their defence. 


Confirmed Lineup: Diego Benaglio, Ricardo Rodríguez, Naldo, Robin Knoche, Christian Träsch, Josuha Guilavogui, Vieirinha, Luiz Gustavo, Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Schürrle, Bas Dost.
