SPORTING-ARSENAL PREDICTION ODDS

—

The two national cups are gone and now Arsenal must concentrate on completing the job in the Premier League (where they have been leading since the first matchdays) and try their first historic victory in the Champions League: the Gunners only came close to winning in 2006, the year they lost the final in Paris against Barcelona. After finishing the single group stage in first place, the London team overcame Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16. Sporting, second in La Liga, demolished Bodo Glimt and, in the Champions League, won all five home matches of this edition.

Arsenal, however, also came out on top in the group in the away games with four wins in as many games, an average of almost three goals per game (11 in total). This is why we can carefully evaluate the odds of the Over 1.5 visiting team, on the board at 1.80 on Bet365 and 1.78 on DomusBet, Marathon and LeoVegas.

GYOKERES, THE GREAT EX

—

Despite never having won against Portuguese teams in the 6 previous matches in the knockout phase of the Champions League, Arsenal are clearly favored on the operators’ boards, where the sign of 2 pays 1.78 against the draw at 3.80 and the success of Sporting which reaches 5. In terms of goals, the Goal at 1.80 is slightly favored compared to the No Goal, which comes close to doubling the score, settling at an odds of 1.97. After two seasons and almost 100 goals in the green and white shirt, Viktor Gyokeres joined Arsenal last summer for almost 75 million euros. At the José Alvalade stadium he has scored an avalanche of goals in his career and now he returns for the first time as an opponent: one of his goals pays between 2.55 and 2.75.
