Sporting – Arsenal. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On November 26, the match of the 5th round of the Champions League will be held at “José Alvalade”, in which “Sporting Lisbon” will meet with “Arsenal”. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Sporting Lisbon

Last season, the team rose from fourth place to first, although Benfica tried very hard to retain the title. In the new season, the Lions epically missed the Super Cup, losing the three-goal advantage created in the first half of the match. But this was an exception, and the club showed excellent football with a hundred percent result. Only at PSV in the Champions League they could not win either, it ended 1:1 in Eindhoven. But the rest of the opponents were confidently beaten, both Lille at home and Sturm away, 2:0 each. Well, the peak was the rout of Manchester City, when four of their own responded to Foden’s goal in the 4th minute. And Djokeres showed Holland, who is the Scandinavian scorer #1 now, scoring a hat trick. But all this was still under Amorim, who is already at United. And this will be the first test of what the green-whites represent without a talented mentor.

Arsenal

The club returned to the Champions League last season after a very long break, as for such a giant. And confidently made it to the playoffs, although he didn’t find any arguments there against his old friends – Bayern and Kane. But at the same time, he almost took away the championship in the Premier League from Manchester City. And the gunners, who strengthened themselves in the summer at points, started the new season very well, but in the middle of autumn they plunged into a serious decline. He also touched on their performances in the European Cup. The red-and-whites started with a goalless draw with Atalanta away, then confidently beat PSG 2:0. But then with Shakhtar, only an own goal by the opponent’s goalkeeper, Ryznyk, brought victory. And in Milan, Inter beat the representative of Misty Albion due to the only goal scored by Calhanoglu from the penalty spot before the break.

Statistics of personal meetings

The Gunners won their first match in the Europa League since 2018. Already the answer was tied, and even in 2023, in the 1/8 finals of the same tournament, the parties did not establish the strongest. We had to shoot penalties, which turned out better for the Portuguese.

Forecast

Bookmakers believe in guests more. But the hosts have Djokeresh, so it is worth stopping at the offer with both goals (coefficient – 1.63).
