Sporting will entertain Arsenal at the Est\u00e1dio Jos\u00e9 Alvalade in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday. The hosts have made it to the last eight for the first time in the Champions League era, with their last appearance dating back to the 1982\/83 European Cup campaign. The Gunners lost to eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the semifinals last season.<\/p>\n
Lions<\/em> have seen an uptick in form and have won their last three games in all competitions. They resumed their Primeira Liga campaign after the international break with a comfortable 4-2 home triumph over Santa Clara on Friday. Pedro Gon\u00e7alves, Daniel Bragan\u00e7a, and Francisco Trinc\u00e3o scored in the first half, while Rafael Nel scored late in stoppage time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/template><\/p>\n The visitors have lost their last two games and fell to a 2-1 defeat to Southampton in the FA Cup on Saturday. Viktor Gy\u00f6keres equalized for them in the 68th minute, but Shea Charles scored an 85th-minute winner for the Saints.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n Lions<\/em> have scored at least four goals in their last three games in all competitions and will look to build on that prolific run here. Interestingly, they are on a nine-game winning streak at home, scoring at least two goals in seven games in that period.<\/p>\n Morten Hjulmand was booked in the round of 16 against Bodo\/Glimt and will serve a suspension here. Lu\u00eds Guilherme, Fotis Ioannidis, and Nuno Santos are sidelined with injuries, while Iv\u00e1n Fresneda will undergo a late fitness test.<\/p>\n The Gunners suffered a narrow away loss in the FA Cup last week and will look to bounce back here. They have an unbeaten away record against the hosts, winning two of the four games.<\/p>\n Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze, and Piero Hincapie are sidelined for the visitors, while Jurrien Timber will undergo a late fitness test. Gabriel was subbed off against Southampton and is a major doubt.<\/p>\n While the visitors have endured a poor run of form, they have enjoyed a good run in the Champions League, and considering their recent record against the hosts, we back them to secure a win.<\/p>\n Prediction: <\/strong>Sporting 2-3 Arsenal<\/p>\n Tip 1: Result – Arsenal to win<\/p>\n Tip 2: Goals – Over\/Under 2.5 Goals – Over 2.5 goals<\/p>\n Tip 3: Both teams to score – Yes<\/p>\n Tip 4: At least one goal to be scored in the second half – Yes<\/p>\n Bold Tip: Viktor Gy\u00f6keres to score or assist anytime – Yes<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
