Arsenal are in a strong position to qualify for a second successive Champions League semi-final. The Gunners go into this quarter-final second leg at the Emirates with a 1-0 lead from last week's match in Portugal. Read our match prediction below.

The weekend saw Arsenal lose at home to Bournemouth in the English Premier League. They have been struggling in recent weeks but the only win they have managed to achieve was the first leg of this quarter-final tie. They won all eight of their games in the league phase and have a strong home record in Europe. They will be fully focused on ensuring they reach the last four.

Sporting will have wanted a lead to take to the Emirates. That was not to be for the Lions and they need to win this match over 90 minutes to retain their hopes of making it into the semi-finals. They did win at Arsenal in the Europa League three years ago, can they repeat that on Wednesday?

Arsenal - Sporting Lisbon: Form Analysis

Arsenal have won all five of their home games in this season's Champions League. In the league phase, the Gunners beat Olympiacos, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Kairat with 12 goals scored. 

Arsenal are unbeaten in this season's UCL.

In the last 16, their 100 percent record in this season's UCL ended when they drew at Bayer Leverkusen. They won the home leg 2-0 to progress into this quarter-final and then won 1-0 in Portugal last Wednesday.

The weekend saw them beaten at home by Bournemouth, their third loss in four games but still lead the Premier League. They had won seven consecutive home fixtures before that loss to the Cherries. Only one of their last 23 home European games has been lost, a semi-final defeat to PSG last season.

Sporting are second in the Primeira League, five points behind Porto but with a game in hand. They beat Estrella 1-0 on Saturday.  The loss to Arsenal is the only one of their last five games they have not won.

In the league phase, the Green and Whites only won one of their four away games. They were beaten at both Napoli and Bayern Munich. Another away loss came in the last 16 as they were beaten 3-0 at Bodo/Glimt.

Arsenal & Sporting Lisbon Squad Analysis

It's a massive week for Arsenal with the vital trip to Mahchester City in the Premier League on the horizon. They lead 1-0 from the first leg but that is their only victory in the last four games they have played.

They would have perhaps preferred to have a larger lead so they could consider resting some players for the City game. That isn't possible but they will want to stretch their lead in the tie as soon as possible to allow them to do so.

The Gunners have injury doubts over several players, including Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Eberechi Eze and Piero Hincapie are fit again and may well feature in this second leg. Leandro Trossard is another possible starter as Arsenal look to freshen up their team.

Sporting need to improve their away form.

Sporting are in trouble in this tie because their away form in Europe is not at all impressive this season. The Lions have already lost three games this term in Europe and it is going to be a tough task for them to get back into this tie. Conceding the first goal on Wednesday is not an option for them.

Morten Hjulmand is available again for Sporting after missing the first leg through suspension. Neither Luis Guilherme or Fotis Ioannidis are going to be playing for Sporting on Wednesday.. Luis Suarez isn't suspeneded as was first thought and he will look to be on target for Sporting.
