Sporting Lisbon vs Arsenal Tips
Tip 1
Their attack has proven too devastating for most this season and given Arsenal’s ropey form as of late, we expect Sporting to overturn the visitors like they did to the Gunners’ Premier League title challengers last time out.
That 4-1 win over Man City maintained Sporting’s perfect home record this calendar year and is also one of nine victories on the spin, while the travellers have just recovered from losses to Newcastle and Inter as well as a draw with Chelsea in their last four.
Tip 2
Gyokeres has scored a tremendous 24 goals in 19 across all competitions this term, including five in the Champions League.
With 13 netted in his last nine games for the Portuguese outfit – three of which came in the demolition of Pep Guardiola’s side – the Swede doesn’t require much bargaining to get onside for this selection.

Sporting continued their superb form with a 6-0 league victory over Amarante over the weekend, extending their lead over Porto to six points.
