Sporting CP vs Arsenal: Betting Insights, Preview, and Predictions

João Pereira kicked off his time as Sporting CP manager with a bang, leading the Lions to a 6-0 win over Amarante in the domestic cup. But things are about to get tougher as they take on Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). Sporting is riding high with a nine-game home winning streak, scoring a whopping 30 goals along the way!

Their highlight in Europe this season was a fantastic 4-1 victory over Manchester City on matchday four. Still, their past encounters with Arsenal don’t exactly fill you with confidence, as they’ve never won in regulation time across six previous European meetings.

On the flip side, Arsenal recently broke a rough patch with a solid 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. However, their UCL journey has been a bit rocky, with only three goals in four matches and a five-game winless streak away from home. To make matters worse, they haven’t scored in their last four UCL away games, a drought that only one other English club has managed to top.
