Match odds
Sporting win: 3.31
Draw: 3.28
Arsenal win: 2.34
Betting Tip
Both teams may have kept it tight at the back so far in the Champions League, but with the form of Viktor Gyokeres for Sporting and the return of Martin Odegaard for Arsenal, there’s a high possibility of both teams scoring in this encounter at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.
Match Prediction
Arsenal have conceded just one goal in four Champions League games so far, while Sporting are riding high after crushing Manchester City 4-1 in their last game before the international break.
The Primeira Liga leaders have scored three times as many goals as Arsenal (9 to 3) and conceded just two, making this trip to Lisbon a dangerous one for the Gunners. This has a score draw written over it and you should head over here to view bookies where you can stake on this and more games.
