Arsenal vs Sporting: Prediction, kick off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today

Marc Mayo16 March 2023

Arsenal tonight face Sporting Lisbon for a place in the Europa League quarter-finals.

The Portuguese side fought hard for a 2-2 draw in Lisbon last week as they look to win a first European title in almost 60 years.

While battling for the Premier League title, this competition may be seen as something of a distraction by some Arsenal fans but Mikel Arteta will be strongly enticed by the possibility of a League-and-Europe double.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Arsenal vs Sporting Lisbon is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off tonight, Thursday, March 16, 2023.

The match will take place at Emirates Stadium in London.

Arsenal vs Sporting prediction

Sporting will give Arsenal a game and low-key performances in cup exits against Brighton and Manchester City earlier in the campaign should act as a warning to the Gunners.

They may need to dig deep but the home support should get them over the line.
