Sporting CP has been in great form all season and they have been pulling off some impressive results in Champions League as well. Arsenal has been struggling away from home recently, specifically with their attack, and Sporting has the potent attack to find the net on this Arsenal defense that has not been keeping clean sheets away from home. Arsenal has actually struggled a lot against Sporting as well, drawing their last 3 straight meetings and even getting kicked out of Europa League by them last season. Sporting CP will win this match at home or at least draw, take Sporting CP +0.5 here.
