Danny Welbeck’s goal in the 77th minute two weeks ago gave Arsenal all three points in Lisbon, the third win in as many games in the group, perfect record. The Gunners finished the game on 14 attempts, one less than Sporting, but the most impressive is that they had seven on target, while the Portuguese side had… zero(!). Corners won were 11-11, another number that shows that both teams searched for that goal they needed to take the lead and most probably win the game. There was a significant difference in ball possession though, with Arsenal’s at 60%. Ever since then, the London side did qualify for the next round of the League Cup, but in two Premier League matches, they earned only two points. They are 5th, on 23 from 11 matches.

Arsenal vs Sporting Lisbon: Betting Tips
A simple Arsenal win is at just 1.30. Combined with “over 2.5 goals”, it jumps to 1.83. The hosts may play with some reserves, but their roster is so deep that even those coming from the bench can win almost any rival (in the Europa League).
