Arsenal v Sporting CP
Arsenal Hold Edge After First Leg
Arsenal come into this second leg with the advantage and will look to finish the job at home. Their recent form has been poor but they will be looking to hold the lead and bounce back. Arsenal will aim to reach another UCL Semi-Final and head into the much anticipated Man City game with high momentum.
Sporting CP face a tough task away from home. While they remain organised and dangerous on the break, their recent performances has been great but they’ll need a near-perfect display to turn things around.
Arsenal are expected to control possession, with Rice and Zubimendi dictating play, while Havertz and Trossard provide attacking support. Sporting will likely stay compact and rely on quick transitions through Trincão and Pedro Gonçalves.
With the first-leg cushion and home advantage, Arsenal should have enough to see this through, though Sporting can still threaten.
Key Player
Arsenal:
Kai Havertz, Declan Rice, Viktor Gyökeres
Sporting CP:
Pedro Gonçalves, Francisco Trincão, Geny Catamo
Predicted Score
Arsenal 2–0 Sporting CP
