The latest odds for Arsenal vs Sporting Lisbon ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash.
Arsenal vs Sporting Lisbon predictions
Arsenal will fancy their chances of progression to the next round of the Europa League when Sporting Lisbon arrive in London on Thursday.
The Gunners are still flying high in the Premier League and are one of the favourites to clinch European glory.
Mikel Arteta's side followed up their incredible late victory over Bournemouth by comprehensively outclassing Fulham at Craven Cottage over the weekend.
And that should put them in good stead against their Portuguese opponents on home turf, where they've only been beaten by Manchester City and Brighton in competitive action.
It's the first of three successive home fixtures for Arsenal, with Crystal Palace and Leeds travelling to North London in the coming weeks.
Arteta is expected to field a string starting XI with only one match to follow before the international break.
Sporting have enjoyed a great run of their own in recent weeks, winning five of their last six.
But Arsenal were still superior despite fielding a weakened side in the first leg and should win inside 90 minutes.

Arsenal vs Sporting Lisbon Betting Tips
On course…
Arsenal were back to their brilliant best against Fulham on Sunday, and when that happens – goals tend to follow.
The free-flowing and clinical Gunners scored three that afternoon, and have scored 3+ goals in four of their last five clashes in all competitions.
In fact, Arsenal have scored 3+ goals on ten occasions at home and should register a good few against Sporting, who are winless in their last nine away games against English opposition.
Furthermore, when failing to win a home first leg of a two-legged knockout tie in major European competition, Sporting have been eliminated in 21 of their previous 22 such ties.

On fire…
It was the advice last week, and it's the advice this week — Gabriel Martinelli to score.
The Brazilian, 21, is enjoying a tremendous streak of five goals in his last six matches, including a brace against Everton during Arsenal's 4-0 win.
Martinelli has looked sharp in his central role and has linked up nicely with January signing Leandro Trossard, who provided three assists against Fulham.
Gabriel Jesus is now available for selection, but it's expected that he'll be eased back into action and arrive in the latter stages.
Nobody in the Arsenal squad has scored more, or had more efforts on target that Martinelli this season, and we expect his streak to continue.

Assist king…
Leandro Trossard is Arsenal's new assist king.
Ok, perhaps too early to give him that title but he has provided five assists in 10 appearances since joining in January.
He's provided an assist once every 91 minutes on average and his relationship with Martinelli and Bukayo Saka is flourishing.
As mentioned, we expect Arsenal to score 3+ goals tonight and he's a good likelihood of adding to his assist tally on Thursday.
- Our tip: Leandro Trossard over 0.5 assists at 5/2 with Bet365
