Sporting Lisbon return to the scene of their dominant first-leg victory as they welcome Young Boys for the second leg of their Europa League knockout-stage playoff on Thursday. Sporting Lisbon vs Young Boys promises to be a thrilling encounter, with the Lions seeking to roar into the next round and the Young Boys battling for survival in the continental competition.

How Have They Been Performing

Sporting Lisbon are riding a wave of momentum, having claimed five consecutive victories in all competitions. This impressive run has seen them reach the top of the Primeira Liga table and dismantle opponents with a staggering 21 goals scored and four clean sheets recorded in those five matches. Their most recent triumph, a comfortable 2-0 win over Moreirense, further showcased their attacking prowess and defensive solidity.

Young Boys, on the other hand, will need to summon all their resilience if they are to overturn a two-goal deficit from the first leg. Although they returned to winning ways with a narrow 1-0 victory over Stade Ls Ouchy in the Swiss Super League, the bitter taste of their Sporting Lisbon vs Young Boys first-leg defeat lingers. Their three-match unbeaten run prior to that encounter was brought to a halt by Sporting's attacking might, and they face a monumental task in Lisbon.

Prediction On The Sporting Lisbon vs Young Boys Match

While Young Boys possess the fighting spirit and counter-attacking threat to cause an upset, Sporting Lisbon appear unstoppable at present. Their dominant home record, coupled with their recent goal-scoring exploits, makes them firm favorites to secure another victory and solidify their place in the next round of the Europa League. Expect Sporting Lisbon vs Young Boys to be an entertaining encounter, but the Lions are likely to roar louder and continue their impressive run.
