Arsenal to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n1\/2 @ Bet365<\/a>
(66.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nArsenal are clear favourites to overcome Sporting CP in their Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners hold a crucial 1-0 advantage after Kai Havertz’s stoppage-time winner in Lisbon. Mikel Arteta’s side boast a formidable home record, winning 21 matches at the Emirates this season. Furthermore, Arsenal remain unbeaten in six European meetings with Sporting, making them perfectly primed to secure their semi-final spot this Wednesday evening.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n1\/1 @ Bet365<\/a>
(50.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nExpect a tight, low-scoring affair when Arsenal host Sporting CP in their Champions League quarter-final second leg. Mikel Arteta\u2019s side boast an exceptional defensive record in the competition this season, keeping seven clean sheets and conceding just five goals in 11 matches. The first leg was similarly cautious, ending in a narrow 1-0 victory for the Gunners. With Arsenal likely to control possession and protect their aggregate lead, expect under 2.5 goals.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
