Atalanta faced a challenging outing against Juventus, managing a commendable 2-2 draw that left them four points behind Serie A's top four. However, their recent five-match winless streak, with three draws and two losses, raises concerns, particularly considering their prior run of six consecutive victories under Gian Piero Gasperini. Among their winless results was the 1-1 draw against Sporting Lisbon in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 16, renewing their encounter with familiar European adversaries they faced in the group stage.

While Atalanta's previous UEL campaign ended in the quarter-finals, they'll need to return to winning ways to match or exceed that achievement this season. Despite being undefeated against Sporting so far (with one win and two draws), having met twice in the group stage, Atalanta has won eight of their last nine matches, scoring at least three goals in four of the last six outings.

Sporting Lisbon arrives in Italy in excellent form following their 3-0 victory over Arouca, extending their unbeaten streak to 11 competitive matches, with eight wins and three draws. However, they've faced challenges in the UEL, with only one win in their three matches in 2024. Sporting's history in Italy is daunting, with no wins in their last 16 visits, but their ability to score three goals in four of their last five competitive away games demonstrates their potency.

Despite their struggles historically in Italy, Sporting's recent strong away form, including four wins and one draw in their last five away matches, instills confidence. Viktor Gyökeres has been instrumental, finding the net in nine of Sporting's last 11 matches, with three goals coming before the 30th minute in the last five outings. That being said, I believe that the Portuguese team can at least remain unbeaten in this second leg.

亚特兰大面对的是一场充满挑战的比赛，他们2-2逼平了尤文图斯，使他们落后意甲前四分。然而，他们最近的五连胜，三平两负，引起了人们的关注，特别是考虑到他们之前在吉安皮耶罗加斯佩里尼的带领下取得了六连胜。在欧联杯16强首回合1-1战平里斯本竞技(Sporting Lisbon)的比赛中，他们的战绩可谓一败北。在小组赛中，他们再次遭遇了熟悉的欧洲对手。

虽然亚特兰大之前的UEL战役结束在四分之一决赛，他们需要回到胜利的方式来匹配或超过本赛季的成就。尽管到目前为止，亚特兰大在小组赛中两次遭遇竞技队，并保持不败(1胜2平)，但亚特兰大在最近9场比赛中取得了8场胜利，在最近6场比赛中有4场至少打入3球。

里斯本竞技在3-0战胜阿鲁卡后以出色的状态来到意大利，将他们的不败纪录扩大到11场，8胜3平。然而，他们在UEL面临挑战，在2024年的三场比赛中只赢了一场。米兰竞技在意大利的历史令人生畏，他们最近16次访问意大利没有取得胜利，但他们在最近5场客场比赛中有4场打进3球的能力证明了他们的实力。

尽管他们在意大利历史上表现不佳，但最近的强势客场表现，包括最近5场客场4胜1平，给他们带来了信心。维克多Gyökeres发挥了重要作用，他在最近11场比赛中有9场进球，在最近5场比赛中有3球是在30分钟前打进的。话虽如此，我相信葡萄牙队至少可以在第二回合保持不败。
