Arsenal welcome Sporting this Wednesday April 15 at 9:00 p.m. at the Emirates Stadium for a quarter-final second leg of the Champions League which promises to be undecided.
During the first leg, the Gunners won by the narrowest of margins (0-1), thanks to a late goal from Kai Havertz. A valuable success, but far from decisive as the gap remains fragile.
At home, Arsenal start with a slight advantage, but will have to be careful. Recently beaten in the championship by Bournemouth (1-2), the Londoners will be keen to react in front of their audience and validate their qualification.

The Portuguese dream
Opposite, Sporting arrives with confidence after their victory on the lawn of Estrela da Amadora (0-1). The Portuguese know that a single goal can be enough to completely restart the confrontation.
And the Lisbon people have already proven that they are capable of exploits. In the previous round, they reversed a compromised situation by coming from three goals behind against Bodø/Glimt, finally winning 5-0 (after extra time). A scenario which inevitably feeds their ambitions.
Without pressure, Sporting should go all out in London, while Arsenal will have to manage their lead without falling into overconfidence.
Kick-off will be given at 9:00 p.m., for a match to be followed live on Canal+ Foot.
The probable composition of Arsenal: Raya; White – Saliba – Gabriel – Hincapié; Zubimendi-Rice; Madueke-Havertz-Trossard; Rooted
La compo probable du Sporting : Silva; Fresneda – Diomande – Inacio – Araujo; Morita – Simoes; Catamo – Trincao – Gonçalves; Suarez
To summarize
Arsenal host Sporting this Wednesday at 9 p.m. in the quarter return of the Champions League, broadcast on Canal+ Foot. Winners 1-0 in the first leg, the Gunners remain under pressure against the Portuguese capable of exploits and ready to turn the situation around.
