<p>The two teams will face each other in the second leg on Thursday, April 16 (06:00 AEST), and Mikel Arteta's side will want to make sure they live up to their label as tournament favourites, despite falling late in the domestic cups this season.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Quick Picks</h2><p><strong>Our pick:</strong> Arsenal to win</p><p><strong>Value bet:</strong> 'Yes' in the BTTS</p><p><strong>Long shot:</strong> 'Arsenal 2-1 Correct Score'</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Betting Preview</h2><p>A late Kai Havertz goal (and not for the first time) was enough to secure the 1-0 victory, with David Raya being called into action several times to keep the Gunners in the tie to that point.</p><p>The pair will likely be needed once again when the game takes place at the Emirates Stadium. As you can imagine, Sporting will go for it, especially with nothing to lose now that they are a goal behind.</p><p>If it's anything like the first leg, we might be able to expect a close encounter. Arsenal edged the shot count with nine compared to the host's seven. The Gunners had five efforts go goal-bound, while Sporting had three on target. Possession was in Arsenal's favour, although they only edged it, 58% to 42%.</p><p>Arsenal kept their run of keeping goals out in away ties, having only conceded two all tournament on the road. They have conceded just five across all games, scoring 27. Sporting have scored 20, conceding 15.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2><p>The Gunners continued their positive run against Sporting alive in the first leg, making it three wins and three draws from six meetings across Europe's top two competitions.</p><p>At home, they've been exceptional. They've won each of their home games this season, scoring 14 times and conceding just three. They have three clean sheets from the five played. Furthermore, they have won 10 of their last 11 Champions League matches, which is why they are considered <strong>strong favourites to win this game</strong>.</p><p>Value can be found elsewhere than the moneyline. We think the <strong>goal market</strong> offers it. The <strong>'Over 2.5 Goals' market</strong> has hit in each of Sporting Lisbon's last five <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/how-to-bet-uefa-champions-league">Champions League betting</a> Wednesday matches. Additionally, the '<strong>Both Teams to Score' market</strong> has hit in each of Arsenal's last four Champions League Wednesday Knockout Stage matches. Despite the clean sheets, we think <strong>there's value in the BTTS hitting</strong>, especially as Sporting have to score to remain in the tie.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Our Prediction</h2><p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/uefa-competitions/uefa-champions-league/arsenal-v-sporting-lisbon-10350201">Arsenal vs Sporting CP betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p><p><strong>Arsenal are likely to win this game</strong> and should advance to the UCL semi-finals. We think the value is actually in the goals market in this one, with the <strong>Arsenal 2-1 in the correct score</strong> offering value.</p><p>As noted, Sporting have to come out and attack from the off, and would have if it weren't for Raya in the first leg.
