Tip and bets
English side has a slight advantage on class, but Sporting shouldn't be underestimated. Portuguese team is extremely motivated for every home match in European competitions, Ruben Amorim knows how to prepare his team for any kind of opponent. Both teams will surely have a reverse fixture in mind, so no one will take too much risk here. Opponents have no problems with the defensive game, so we are expecting a low-scoring game.
Our prediction - total under 2.5 goals
As our second prediction, we offer to place a bet on a draw. Arsenal have a better squad, but Sporting will have a home advantage, which makes the teams pretty much even.
Our second bet is on a draw
