Match Preview
Sporting Lisbon will host Arsenal in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie at the Estádio José Alvalade on Thursday, 10 March. With a perfect record of four straight wins, including a thrashing of Midtjylland to earn a place in the last 16, Sporting Lisbon will be feeling confident when they host the English side.
The hosts have put in a solid showing in the Portuguese League this season. In their last match, Sporting Lisbon managed to win 1-0 over Portimonense, with a single goal scored by Paulinho in the 77th minute. This victory gave the team additional confidence to face Arsenal in the much awaited match.
The results of Sporting Lisbon’s last three matches have been less consistent, with only one win. However, in this home game, Sporting Lisbon can take advantage of playing in front of their own supporters. A win in this match will be an important capital for Ruben Amorim’s team who are chasing the Portuguese Primeira Liga title.
On the other hand, Arsenal have been knocked out of two domestic competitions, namely the League Cup and the FA Cup, and now they will focus on winning the long-awaited Premier League title. However, the Europa League can also be an opportunity for Arsenal to win a trophy this season.
The Gunners also have strong qualities and are expected to do well in the Europa League. In their last match in the Premier League, Arsenal managed to win a dramatic match against AFC Bournemouth with a score of 3-2. Despite trailing 0-2, Arsenal recovered and scored three spectacular goals from Thomas Partey, Ben White and Reiss Nelson.
Mikel Arteta’s troop must be careful with the host’s strengths, which include attacking midfielder Pedro Goncalves and striker Paulinho who are the mainstay of the team.
This match will definitely be a tough match. Both teams are definitely ready to fight in this leg, with Arsenal currently in good form and Sporting Lisbon having a positive trend recently. However, with the advantage of playing at home and high spirits, it looks like the Gunners will have the upper hand in this game.
