Sporting CP vs Arsenal Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in UEFA Europa League on Thursday, 9 March 2023.
Arsenal are possibly en route to create history, as they lead at the top of the Premier League table with five points. They hope to carry forward this momentum into their Europa campaign as well.
However, the in-form Sporting will surely have something to say about this. They are delivering great performances one after the other in the Portuguese top flight, and are high in confidence.
The Gunners have an unbeaten record against this rival – and barring a single draw, they have a perfect winning record. Most of all, at this venue, Mikel Arteta’s men have a 100% winning record over the years.
The Gunners have been so great this season, that they have so far denied the top-most spot in the PL to the defending champions Manchester City. And note that the Citizens only got better in the summer with the addition of two top-notch strikers.
On top of that Arteta’s men have the added confidence of coming from the best European league, and to make matters further easy for them – they have a 100% winning record against this opponent in h2h clashes, barring a single draw.
Expect a hard-fought Arsenal win this Thursday.
Sporting scored 10 goals from their last four fixtures, and slotted in 33 goals from their past 11 appearances at home. And Arteta’s men are on cloud nine after scoring three goals in the late stages of their previous game to complete a comeback.
Anticipate a high-scoring affair this game week.
Sporting failed to find the back of the net at home just three times in the past 11 months, while the Gunners could manage just two clean sheets in their last nine games. Moreover, Arteta’s men even conceded two goals in their latest game, against minnows Bournemouth.
Not only are Arteta’s men the outright toppers in the best European league, but they are also high in confidence after completing a 3-2 comeback the last match-day, after going 0-2 down.
They also have a near-perfect h2h record against Sporting, who remained winless in three of their past five appearances at home.
Likely, Arsenal to Win at 2.20 odd would be a great pick for the day.
However, note that Sporting slotted in 33 goals from their past 11 appearances at home, and the Gunners failed to keep clean sheets in seven of their previous nine games.
For the reasons, Both Teams to Score wager looks promising at 1.80.
