Analysis & Tips

Alkmaar's Olaf Lindenbergh and Michael Buskermolen are both suspended as they look to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit. Goalkeeper Henk Timmer (hamstring) Kew Jaliens (achilles heel) and Robin Nelisse (thigh) trained separately from the Alkmaar squad this week but are expected to recover.


Sporting's in-form striker Mauricio Pinilla will not feature after tearing a muscle in his right thigh during training on Tuesday. The 21-year-old has scored four goals in his last two games, including the winner against Alkmaar last week. Coach José Peseiro will also be without Joseph Enakarhire, Rogerio and Carlos Martins, whose respective injuries may keep them out for the rest of the season. But Pedro Barbosa has recovered from his minor problem and is fit to travel to the Netherlands.

Sporting needed a late strike from substitute Mauricio Pinilla to claim a narrow  2-1 victory from the first leg of their UEFA Cup semi-final against a resolute AZ Alkmaar side. They would not find it easy this time around at the Alkmaarderhout where the host have yet to lose a game in all their European adventure. Should be another closely fought game where the score draw looks the best bet.

 

Referee : Claus Bo Larsen (DEN)
