This Thursday, Sporting seeks to equal Atalanta at the top of Group D of the Europa Football League, in a match on the fifth and penultimate day, but could be caught up by Sturm Graz in second place, if it loses in Italy.
The Lisbon team occupies second place, which forces them to play a qualifying play-off for the round of 16 with teams from the Champions League, three points behind the leadership, which is occupied by Atalanta, the only place with direct access to phase to be eliminated.
Sporting has the same three-point advantage over the Austrian Sturm Graz, third placed – relegation place for the Europa Conference League -, which will host the Polish team Raków, last in the group, with only one point, won precisely, by the ‘lions ‘ (1-1).
The Alvalade team, which lost 2-1 at home against Atalanta, will face the transalpine team in Bergamo, starting at 5:45 p.m., in Bergamo (at the same time that Sturm Graz-Raków starts), with the refereeing by the Englishman Michael Oliver. .
