Atletico Madrid take a 2-0 lead to the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Thursday evening after dominating the first leg of their Europa League quarter final tie.
Sporting created precious few chances at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano and know they must score at least twice against an Atletico side who have conceded just seven times in their last 16 matches in all competitions.

Team news
Sporting president Bruno de Carvalho backed down on his bizarre threat to suspend 19 first team players following off-field turmoil after the first leg defeat.
The Portuguese side will, however, be missing centre-forward Bas Dost and left-back Fabio Coentrao, who are both suspended following yellow cards last week.
Atletico Madrid are still without Filipe Luis and Jose Maria Gimenez, while the manager may chose to rest some players given the first leg lead.
Atletico to prove too strong
There was a definite gulf in class between these sides in the first leg and the problems following the game will not have helped Sporting at all.
Los Rojiblancos are experts in getting the job done, and against a team with plenty of issues as well as important absentees, Atletico must surely be backed for the win.
Tips and predictions
The price of 9/10 (1.90) for an away win is certainly big enough for investment and with 13 victories in their last 16 games in all competitions, Atletico are in strong form.
Six of those 13 wins have come with under 2.5 goals scored and a repeat in Lisbon on Thursday evening is offered at 12/5 (3.60) for those after an odds-against quote.
