In my opinion Sporting has really good chances to at least avoid loss in today's match.
It's already third match between both teams since October as they played against each other in group stage. Last two matches finished with draw 1:1 and I expect similar scoreline also today. I don't see Atalanta advantage in terms of potential or quality.
Atalanta after 28 rounds is on 6th position in Serie A, but they played worse than their results shows. Atalanta scored 51 goals, but according to the expected goals scored model they should score 41.9. On the other hand Atalanta have higher expected goals conceded value than 7 teams in Serie A.
Sporting looks outstanding at both ends of the pitch in current season of Portuguese league. Offensive firepower is huge - 69 goals scored in 24 rounds. Only 24 goals conceded, but according to the expected goals conceded model they should concede even less - 19.0.
Atalanta came for this game without big confidence. They failed to win in last 5 matches in all competitions. Currently no stability or consistency at the back - 5 consecutive matches without a clean sheet. That might be very problematic today.
As I mentioned before, Sporting have great offensive formation. Trio Goncalves/Gyokeres/Paulinho is very hard to stop. Sporting scored more than one goal in 4 of last 5 matches (12 goals in total). Team confidence should be on the highest possible level as they won 3:0 on the road against Arouca last weekend.
I believe Sporting is good enough to score at least one goal here, but they are also solid enough to not concede more than one goal. Double chance on the away side looks like great option to play.
在我看来,在今天的比赛中,竞技至少有很好的机会避免输球。
这已经是两队自去年10月小组赛以来的第三场比赛了。前两场比赛都以1:1的比分结束,我希望今天的比分也差不多。我不认为亚特兰大在潜力和实力方面有优势。
经过28轮的比赛,亚特兰大队在意甲排名第六,但他们的表现比他们的成绩要差。亚特兰大进了51球,但根据预期进球模型,他们应该进41.9球。另一方面,亚特兰大的预期失球值高于意甲的7支球队。
在本赛季的葡萄牙联赛中,里斯本竞技队在攻防两端都表现出色。进攻火力巨大,24轮打进69球。只丢了24个球,但根据预期失球模型,他们应该丢的更少——19.0。
亚特兰大在这场比赛中没有很大的信心。在最近的5场比赛中,他们无一胜。目前后防线缺乏稳定性,连续5场比赛没有零封对手。这在今天可能是个大问题。
正如我之前提到的,里斯本竞技拥有强大的进攻阵型。Goncalves/Gyokeres/保利尼奥三人组很难被阻挡。在最近5场比赛中,有4场攻入1球以上(总共12球)。球队的信心应该达到最高水平,因为他们上周末在客场3:0战胜了阿鲁卡。
我相信里斯本竞技的实力足以在这里至少进一个球,但他们也足够稳固,不会失球超过一个。客场的双重机会看起来是个不错的选择。
