Champions League Betting Preview: Arsenal vs Sporting

Premier League leaders Arsenal host Portuguese Primeira Liga side Sporting in the second leg of this UEFA Champions League quarter-final at Emirates Stadium, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Wednesday 15 April.

Arsenal should have the upper hand against Sporting. Taking the -1.25 on the Asian Handicap at odds of -102 means we need a two goal winning margin, although half our money will return if the favourites win by one.

Arsenal suffered a shock 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday. Mikel Arteta's team managed three shots on target and had 53% possession, while Viktor Gyoekeres was the goalscorer.

Sporting secured a 1-0 away win over Estrela Amadora at the Estádio José Gomes in the Primeira Liga at the weekend. The Lions enjoyed 67% possession and had two shots on goal, with Daniel Braganca scoring the winner in the 59th minute.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Arsenal claimed a 1-0 away win over Sporting at the Estádio José Alvalade in the first leg. The Gunners dominated possession with 58% of the ball and had five shots on target to three, with Kai Havertz scoring a late winner.
