Sporting CP and Atalanta will meet once again in the Europa League knockouts after being paired in the same group this season. The first leg of the round of 16 will be staged at Estadio Jose Alvalade on Wednesday.
La Dea finished atop Group D and registered four out of six points against the Portuguese side in the doing. Atalanta's last result was a 2-1 league loss at Bologna on Sunday.
The two sides were drawn against each other after Ruben Amorim's men navigated through the knockout round play-offs with a 4-2 aggregate win over Young Boys. Sporting defeated Farense 3-2 in the domestic circuit last weekend.
