Sporting CP vs Arsenal: UEFA Champions League Prediction Match Details
The Champions League is back this midweek, with Arsenal set to travel to Lisbon to face Sporting CP at the Estadio Jose Alvalade Stadium on Tuesday. Can Sporting hunt the English Club for the second time this season?
Sporting CP Preview & Form
Sporting CP has been thumping impressively on their opponent this season, both in their domestic league and in the Champions League, but there has been a change in the dugout with Ruben Amorim and his coach staff being replaced by Joao Pereira. Ruben Amorim guided the club to an impressive 16 wins and a draw, and under the new management, Sporting shows no sign of reducing the winning tempo. New boss Joao Pereira, in his first game at the helm of the club, recorded a commanding 6-0 victory over Amarante in the Taca de Portugal on Friday night. Their striker Viktor Gyokeres has been in hot top form both in Primeira Liga and Champions League in six of his last seven appearances for the club across all competitions.
The Lions have also remained unbeaten in their Champions League, as the last time out in the competitions, they recorded a sensational 4-1 victory over Manchester City at home on Matchday Four. Currently, Sporting sits second in their Champions League group with 10 points from 4 games, and they have scored nine UCL goals while conceding only two.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal looks to get back on track after some bit of an indecent winless run of results before the international break. The Gunners come into their Champions League clash following a convincing 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, courtesy of goals from Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, and Ethan Nwaneri, with the victory ending their three-match winless run across all competitions. The victory keeps the Gunners fourth in the Premier League standings with 22 points from 12 games and are only nine points behind leader Liverpool.
The Gunners will look to improve their form in the Champions League, as they suffered a narrow 1-0 loss the last time out in the competition against Inter. Mikel Arteta’s men are currently outside of the top eight teams that could secure automatic progression in the Champions League standings as they sit 12th in the table.
