Sporting Lisbon vs Atletico Madrid Betting Tips

The 2017/18 Europa League has reached the second leg, quarter-final stage and the final edges ever closer for the teams involved.

All four quarter-finals will be decided on Thursday night and whatever happens, we will not see two teams from the same country in the semi-finals, unlike the Champions League, which is refreshing.

Sporting Lisbon are the only Portuguese club remaining in European competition this season and will be hoping to reach the semi-final of a major European tournament for the first time since 2011/12, when they lost to Athletic Bilbao.

They face Spanish opposition again in this tie and Atletico Madrid will feel they have the upper hand having won the first leg 2-0 in the Spanish capital. So what are Sporting Lisbon vs Atletico Madrid betting tips?
