Sporting will be looking to continue fine form across all competitions this season on Tuesday night when they play host to Arsenal in the Champions League.
Following the departure of Ruben Amorim to Manchester United last week, many expected Sporting CP to struggle when they hosted Amarante in the Portuguese Cup last time out, but that was not the case. The Lions hammered Amarante for six goals whilst keeping a clean sheet and extended their winning run in all competitions to nine. Having beaten Sturm Graz and Man City in the Champions League in that run, they will fancy their chances against the Gunners on Tuesday night.
Arsenal meanwhile went into the November international break with a three-match winless streak across all competitions. The Gunners were in desperate need of a response when thy hosted Nottingham Forest in the Premier League last weekend and got their wish. Mikel Arteta's men secured a comfortable 3:0 win and will be looking for a similar result on Tuesday.
Sporting CP vs Arsenal Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Scoring goals is something Sporting CP have done with ease in all competitions this season. The Lions have scored 39 goals in the Primeira Liga, 11 more than any other team in the division and have netted six in their last two Champions League games.
Arsenal have not been at their goalscoring best lately with the Gunners finding the back of the net more than twice in just two of their last eight games but Mikel Arteta's men scored in each of their last two meetings with Sporting and I expect that run to continue on Tuesday.
