Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Arsenal to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nArsenal have won all 8 games this European campaign and hammered Sporting 5-1 away last time out. The Gunners are out-creating Sporting by almost double in expected goals and big chances\u2014back them to maintain their streak.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSporting have found the net in 6 of their last 8 European games and boast 94 successful dribbles this campaign, while Arsenal\u2019s attacking approach means they often leave space at the back. Goals at both ends look likely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bukayo Saka Anytime Goalscorer or Assist<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(54.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSaka remains central to Arsenal\u2019s final third output. With Arsenal creating 39 big chances so far, and Saka a regular in advanced positions, there\u2019s value in backing him to get on the scoresheet.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n
