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’s 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 Bowl, squandering a three-goal advantage created in the first half of the match. But this was an exception, and so the club showed excellent football with a hundred percent result. Only at PSV in the Champions League, they also failed to win, finishing 1:1 in Eindhoven. But the rest of the rivals were confidently beaten, both Lille at home and Sturm away, 2:0 each. Well, the peak was the rout of Manchester City, when they responded to Foden’s goal in the 4th minute with four of their own. And Djokeres showed Holland who is now the Scandinavian scorer No. 1 by scoring a hat-trick. But all this was before Amorim, who is already in United. And this will be the first test of what the green-whites are without a talented mentor.

Arsenal

The club returned to the Champions League last season after a very long break for such a giant. And he 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 a lot in the summer, started the new season, but in the middle of autumn they plunged into a serious decline. He touched on their performances in the European Cup. The red and whites started with a scoreless draw with Atalanta away, after which they confidently beat PSG 2:0. But then with Shakhtar, only an own goal by the opponents’ goalkeeper, Riznyk, 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. It was already a draw in the return match, and in 2023, until the 1/8 finals of the same tournament, the sides did not establish the strongest. We had to shoot a penalty, which was better for the Portuguese.

Forecast

Bookmakers have more faith in guests. But the hosts have Djokeresh, so it is worth stopping at the bet that both will score (coefficient – 1.63).
