Arsenal are probably still celebrating that late goal against Bournemouth on Saturday. The English Premier League leaders now turn their attention to the last 16 of the Europa League. They travel to Lisbon for the first leg where they take on Sporting. The home side are fourth in the Primeira League but despite some good recent form are struggling to get into the 2023/24 Champions League. They might need to win the Europa League to get into Europe's top club competition next season.
Arsenal are available at 2.1 to come home from Portugal with a first leg lead. You can get odds of 3.5 on Sporting winning this match. If you fancy it to end level, then the odds of a draw are 3.4. Odds are also available for who'll qualify for the quarter finals. Arsenal are favourites at 1.25 and Sporting 3.75.

Sporting Lisbon - Arsenal: Form Analysis
Arsenal had a poor patch of form earlier this year but come into this match having won their last four games. They have scored 12 goals in those matches, putting at least three past their opponents in all bar one. Away form has seen the Gunners win their last two games at Aston Villa and Leicester City. In Europe this season, they have had wins over FC Zurich and Bodo/Glimt but lost at PSV. Only two of their last 14 Europa League away games have ended in defeat.
Sporting are unbeaten in their last five games since losing to Porto. Their last three league games have all been won but each was against a side in the bottom six. Home form has seen Sporting win one of their four games played in the Champions Leage and Europa League. That was a 2-0 win over Tottenham with a couple of very late goals. Only one of their last three home fixtures has been won.
