Arsenal vs Sporting CP: Champions League preview
Mikel Arteta’s team have been in terrific shape in the Champions League this season after getting as far as the semi-finals in 2024–25. They won all eight league phase fixtures and won their home leg 2–0 against Bayer Leverkusen in the last round.
Arsenal are a goal better off in the quarter-final than they were after their first leg in Germany, a 1–1 draw at the BayArena, thanks to another late goal from Kai Havertz at Sporting CP in Lisbon last week.
The German international netted in the first minute of injury time at the Estádio José Alvalade to make it very much advantage Gunners ahead of the second leg at the Emirates Stadium today.
Sporting’s two visits to Arsenal’s newish home ended in draws: 1–1 in the Europa League round of 16 in 2022–23 – the Lisbon side won on penalties – and 0–0 in the group stage of the same competition four seasons prior.
That’s the indisputable value of Havertz’s goal. Sporting have never gained a result at Arsenal that would be enough this time. Whatever unease might be playing on Arsenal minds, they’re in charge of this tie.
It’s another noteworthy occasion for Viktor Gyökeres, the Arsenal striker who scored from the penalty spot against Bournemouth and played 90 minutes against his former club in Lisbon last week.
The Swede has four goals and an assist in Europe’s premier club competition this season. Either or both in this game would likely be enough to put Arsenal on the path to the last four.
TicketsFourFourTwo’s prediction
Arsenal 1-0 Sporting CP
The Gunners will feel the heat but end the night in relative comfort.
