by Steve Ashfield | in Europa League Predictions
Two clubs not used to being in European competition face each other on Thursday. Torreense are tenth in the league phase of the Europa League and host Sunderland who are 15th. Looking at the stats for both the home side and the Black Cats, our prediction is a tight match with under 2.5 goals.
Torreense caused a big shock last season when they won the Taca de Portugal. It was a historic victory as the Blue-garnets became the first club from the second tier of Portuguese football to win that trophy. That qualified them for the Europa League and they won their opening fixture 2-1 at Lillestrom. Three of their last four games have seen less than 2.5 goals scored.
Sunderland are playing in Europe for the first time in over 50 years. The Black Cats qualified via their finishing position in last season's Premier League. They share something in common with their opponents as Sunderland are only a place above the relegation zone. Less than 2.5 goals have been scored in six of their last seven games.

SCU Torreense & Sunderland Squad Analysis
The last time Sunderland played an away game in European competition, they took on Sporting in the Cup Winners Cup. Now they return to Portugal to take on an unfamiliar Torreense. The Black Cats have been struggling in the English Premier League and were beaten 2-0 at home by Brighton and Hove Albion.
Squad rotation likely to be employed by Sunderland.
Habib Diarra and Brian Brobbey may make their return for this Europa League fixture. As is often the case in this competition, clubs aren't prepared to always risk their best players, wanting to save them for their next domestic match. For Sunderland, that's a trip to Bournemouth (also in the Europa League), hoping to avoid a fourth straight league defeat.
Thomas Meunier will be given a fitness test after being injured against Brighton at the weekend.
Torreense won their opening game in the Europa League, but are struggling in their domestic league. Three of their last four games have seen them fail to score. Only seven league goals have been scored with Daney Jean from Haiti their top league scorer with two goals, but he hasn't scored in his last seven matches.
