Sporting won 4-0 away from home in the second leg of their knockout round play-off match against FC Midtjylland to win 5-1 overall and advance to the last-16 after tying the first leg of the match 1-1. They have won six of their last seven games in Liga B, with their lone loss coming to second-place Porto. In other to secure a 3-2 victory and move five points clear atop the Premier League on Saturday, Arsenal had to wait until the very last second of their game against Bournemouth. This extended their current winning streak in the league to four games. They finished first in their Europa League group, losing only on the away trip to PSV while winning the other five games.
However, Arsenal has four wins and a loss in their last five games across all competitions, while Sporting has four wins and a draw. In the last two meetings between Arsenal and Sporting, the Gunners has a win and a draw. The only victory Sporting has had in any of their four European home games this year came against Tottenham in the Champions League, therefore the Gunners are certain they can gain the upper hand.
