Sporting reached the last eight via one of the round of 16's most dramatic stories by overturning a 3-0 first-leg deficit against Bodø/Glimt with a stunning 5-0 home victory to advance 5-3 on aggregate. That comeback underlined a side brimming with self-belief. The Lions sit second in the Primeira Liga as they continue to go toe-to-toe with FC Porto in the title race. The side’s defensive line would also be presented with a familiar test as Viktor Gyökeres returns to face his former side for the first time since his summer departure.
Arsenal
DWWLL
Mikel Arteta's side arrive in Lisbon with their past two encounters taking them out of title contention in both their domestic cup competitions. A defeat in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City before the international break has been followed up by an upset from lower league Southampton in the FA Cup quarter-finals. The Gunners dispatched Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 on aggregate in the round of 16 to set themselves up in this round. A 1-1 draw in Germany followed by a commanding 2-0 win at the Emirates with Eberechi Eze and Declan Rice providing the decisive moments. Arsenal also lead the Premier League, underlining the remarkable consistency that has defined their season.
Prediction
Arsenal's depth and clinical nature in the tourney make them the side most likely to collect a positive result from this first leg.
