Our Analysis: Form of Both Teams
Arsenal travel to Lisbon to take on Sporting in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
New Sporting manager João Pereira got off to a winning start with a 6-0 victory in the cup on Friday. It’s nine straight wins for the team from the Portuguese capital. They have only failed to win one match since the Super Cup.
Wins over Manchester City, Lille, and Sturm Graz put Sporting in a strong position in the extended Champions League first round format.
Arsenal are hoping that their 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest over the weekend has put an end to their recent downturn. Mikel Arteta’s team have dealt with a few injuries, and the Spaniard rotated an uncharacteristic amount at the Emirates on Saturday.
We are expecting Declan Rice and Kai Havertz to return to the starting line up for this fixture. Arsenal might be the favorites in this matchup, but the home team commands respect in any Sporting vs Arsenal predictions.

Trust Verde e Brancos
Sporting have remained unbeaten since August 3rd, with their only non-victory being a draw away against PSV Eindhoven. Arsenal have only won one of their last seven away matches.
It seems unfair that Sporting are considered underdogs for this match. Ruben Amorim's departure has created some uncertainty, but their form speaks for itself, while Arsenal have struggled away from home over the last two months.
It was tempting to take Sporting to win at 3.00, however, we are more comfortable backing the hosts in the double chance market for the first of our Sporting vs Arsenal predictions.

Take The Under
Across the Premier League and Champions League, seven of Arsenal’s eight away matches have produced under 2.5 total goals. The Gunners have failed to score in four of their last six matches on the road.
With a high-powered attack, Sporting’s matches have generally been higher scoring, but it’s worth noting that their first three Champions League fixtures each produced under 2.5 goals.
Avoiding defeat would be a decent outcome for both teams. Arsenal would surely be happy to fly back to London with a point, knowing they have Monaco, Dinamo Zagreb, and Girona to come.
