Don't forget that Sporting Lisbon is the team who kicked out one of the nominated teams to win the title, Arsenal, so they aren't supposed to be an easy opponents. On the other hand, Juventus was the subject of a new scandal related to the financial deals made during the Corona season in 2020, which left them suffering in Serie A now after deleting 15 of their points, so they are dropped to the 7th position on the standings table with smaller hope to come back to the positions that qualify for the Champions League. Therefore, this case could affect their mental status, or it could drive them to play better, as the winner of the Europa League can participate in the Champions League next season. Personally, I expect Juventus to qualify considering the experience of their players, but can't underestimate the enthusiasm of Sporting Lisbon as well.
Case in point: Sporting Lisbon versus Juventus. Sure, Juve looks like a shoe-in, but remember, it's about the turf, not the hype. Sporting Lisbon's no joke. They booted out Europa League top dog, Arsenal, last round. And Juve? They're grappling with scandal and a shaky Serie A presence.
As they say, "It's not over 'til the fat lady sings!" Victory's up for grabs, and it hinges on who's hungrier come game day. So, let's kick back, savor the thrill, and let football's wild ride unfold!
