Atletico Madrid have been known as the Champion League gurus for a number of years lead by Diego Simeone. However, this season has been a bit hard for them as they failed to qualify from the group stages. They are currently out of Copa del Rey.
During the weekend they beat Deportivo 1-0 to put them on 12 wins from the last 14 competitive played games.
On the other hand, Sporting Lisbon are a bit higher than their opponents. They have beat several tough teams such as Astana and Viktoria Plzen and they are ready to give Someone's men a run of their money. The Portuguese visitors are not in good form either and they have lost three of their last six games in all competitions.
Therefore Atletico Madrid will win against Sporting Lisbon. Correct score 2-0.
