Sporting doesn't have a good season in the Portuguese national league. They are only 4th on the table with five fewer points than Braga, so even Champions League qualifications are in doubt. Still, Sporting won the last four matches in a row. Last weekend, they won 1-0 on the road against Portimonense. Guests dominated the game from the start, so they could easily win with an even wider margin.
Sporting have a good attacking line. They scored ten goals in the last four matches.
Arsenal are magnificent this season. They are five points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League. Arsenal were in a crisis in the first part of February when they were winless in four games. Since then, Mikel Arteta's team has won 12 points in four matches. On Saturday, Arsenal was fortunate to win 3-2 against Bournemouth.
Arsenal scored at least one goal in every of the last six matches. On the other hand, they allowed at least one goal in seven of the previous nine games.
Sporting vs Arsenal pick: Both teams to score - yes
Both these teams are very good in attack lately, so both teams to score - yes should be the best bet for this tie.
