Context of the Champions League game
This game is crucial for both teams’ aspirations in European competition. Sporting, under the command of Rúben Amorim, has been presenting a solid campaign, occupying second place in the group, with three wins and one draw. The recent 4-1 victory over Manchester City stands out, which broke the English team’s streak of 26 unbeaten games in the Champions League.
On the other hand, Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, faces challenges this European season. With just two wins in their last five games, the Gunners need a positive result in Lisbon to keep their chances of advancing to the knockout stages alive.
Sporting: In addition to the outstanding victory over Manchester City, the Lions maintain an impeccable campaign in the Portuguese league, leading with 11 wins in 11 games. Striker Viktor Gyökeres has been one of the highlights, being the competition’s top scorer with five goals.
Arsenal: In the Premier League, Arsenal occupies fourth place, with nine points less than leaders Liverpool. The team seeks to regain consistency to return to the path of victories both on the domestic and international scene.
