Sporting tries this Thursday to reach the round of 16 of the Europa League, needing to beat Midtjylland at home, in the second leg of the play-off for access to the ‘eighth’.
After a less successful performance in the first leg -a 1-1 draw at home, in a game whose equalizer ‘started’ in the last play of the game through captain Coates-, Sporting now has the opportunity to rectify the image left behind and move on to the only goal he has left in the season.
The team led by Rúben Amorim has alternated performances throughout the season, now arriving in Herning, Denmark, with a victory achieved on the last day of the Portuguese League, after beating Chaves 3-2.
For their part, the Nordics reached the championship break in a modest seventh place, but the tie in Alvalade and the victory over the weekend away from the championship, which allowed the team to rise from seventh to fourth place and drop even from 12 10 points behind the first team leaves the team in good shape.
The match in Herning is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. local time (5:45 p.m. in Lisbon) and will be refereed by the Slovak Ivan Kruzliak.
