Preview:
Sporting CP head into this after a 2-1 home loss to FC Porto in the league clash on Sunday.
Chermiti scored the sole goal for the Portuguese side as it turned out to be a mere consolation effort.
This was a 2nd loss in 4 matches across competitions and a 6th one in the league, which sees them in 4th place on the table.
Recent results have made this a rather tight place for them with the next best team just 5 points shy of Sporting.
Sporting look to put away the misery of the missing out of UCL football when they finished 3rd in their group by performing here.
On the other hand, Midtjylland beat Elfsborg 4-3 on penalties in the Atlantic Cup Round 1 clash on Friday.
It ended 1-1 in regulation time before the Danish side picked up a much required win.
Midtjylland secured a 2nd place finish in the UEL which saw them drop to the Play-off round. A two-legged tie to decide which of the two qualifies for the Round of 16, makes for an interesting watch.
