Sporting CP vs Arsenal picks and predictions
My Sporting CP vs Arsenal best option: Draw at Halftime or Fulltime (-118 at Sports Interaction)
Arsenal have never ever won away versus Portuguese opposition in the knockout phases of a significant European competitors.
Sporting CP are strong at home, having won all 5 of their Champions League matches at Alvalade this season. However, they have never beaten Arsenal in seven previous conferences.
Sporting have actually scored 13 goals across their last three competitive matches, so Arsenal will need to stay concentrated defensively. Considering this is a two-legged tie, and based on the more pragmatic version of Arteta's method that they've shown this season, there's little factor to anticipate Arsenal to press aggressively.
A draw at either halftime or fulltime appear like a solid choice.
