The Bianconeri got the better of Sporting when they visited Italy last week courtesy of Federico Gatti's second-half strike. If they avoid defeat then they would be through to another major semifinal. They have won their last four continental matches without conceding a goal, which happens to be their best run since 2013.
However, their Serie A form remains a concern as they have lost two successive matches including one against 10th-placed Sassuolo. Achieving a top-four spot seems difficult at the moment and the only way to ensure Champions League football next season is by lifting the trophy in Budapest.
Meanwhile, Sporting will be spurred by their fans to make a comeback. A 1-0 deficit can be overturned if they play to their potential and coach Ruben Amorim will be looking for a response. They drew 1-1 against Arouca on Sunday which further pushed them away from a Champions League spot.
But, having beaten Premier League leaders Arsenal and Denmark's Midtjylland they would hope for another miracle to overcome Massimiliano Allegri's troops.
