Arsenal are the clear favourite in the UEFA Europa League Group E, they have six points and a 7-2 goal difference to their credit at the moment. Not only the Gunners have been really productive recently, they have also been playing safe in the defense. The star striker of the team is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who came to Arsenal last year. He has been the leader of the team recently and has already scored two goals this UEFA Europa League tournament. In both of their two starting fixtures of the Group E the team of Unai Emery crushed their opponents. In their last three matches overall Arsenal beat Leicester City with a 3-1 score, Fulham with a 5-1 score and Qarabag with a 3-0 score in their UEFA Europa League Group E fixture. Also, the Gunners have had a 1/16-finals fixture of the Carabao Cup recently and have beaten Brentford there with a 3-1 score.
Sporting and Arsenal have never faced each other before. The upcoming fixture will be the first between them in history. Now the team of Unai Emery is stronger than the team of Jose Peseiro in terms of the squad and the status. The Leoes on the other hand have been looking great in front of their home crowd recently. Despite that fact though it is likely that the English side will get one point on Thursday at least.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with 0 handicap.
