Recent home/away form

Sporting CP

Sporting CP have been in scintillating form at home, boasting an impressive six-match winning streak across all competitions. Their offensive prowess has been particularly noteworthy, with the team netting a staggering 23 goals in these fixtures, averaging an exceptional 3.83 goals per game. The Lions have been equally formidable defensively, conceding just three goals in total and keeping clean sheets in half of these matches. Two standout performances were their 6-0 thrashing of Amarante in the Taça de Portugal and a remarkable 4-1 victory over European giants Manchester City in the Champions League. With 83% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals, Sporting CP have been treating their fans to high-scoring affairs, demonstrating their dominance on home soil.

Arsenal

Arsenal's recent away form has been rather disappointing, with the Gunners struggling to find consistency on their travels. The North London side have managed just one win in their last six away fixtures, a comfortable 3-0 victory over Preston in the League Cup. Notably, Arsenal are currently on a three-match winless streak away from home in the Premier League, having lost to both Newcastle and Bournemouth, and drawn with Chelsea. Their goal-scoring prowess has taken a hit on the road, with the team failing to find the back of the net in three of their last five away matches. Defensively, Arsenal have kept only one clean sheet in this run, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game. The majority of their away matches (67%) have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, low-scoring affairs when Arsenal play away from the Emirates.
