Arsenal are an in-form team with 10 straight wins. Lisbon on the other hand are a team that struggle against English opponents, with 2 wins and 4 losses since the 2009/2010 season. If anything, this highlights the gulf in talent available in the English and Portuguese league.

The Europa League may not have been a priority under Wenger but Emery looks like he's not neglecting the poor cousin of the Champion's league. As free scoring as Arsenal are, the're liable to let the odd goal slip in, with only 3 clean sheets in their last 10 matches. Of those 3 clean sheets, 2 were at home. So that's only 1 clean sheet in their last 5 away games.

Sporting on the other hand have scored in 9 of their last 10 games. Arsenal are definitely a class above but Sporting playing at home i think they are good for at least a goal. Predicting a scoreline of 1-2 or 1-3 tonight.

Picks: Arsenal ML @ 1.968 and Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.853

Note: Not a parlay
