Arsenal vs Sporting Prediction & Tips: Back Gyokeres @ 6/5 To Sink…

Published on April 13th, 2026

Arsenal play host to Sporting on Wednesday, with their season in serious danger of falling apart. Once looking primed for an historic quadruple, Mikel Arteta’s side now face a huge test of nerve just to get their hands on any silverware.

A 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final was followed by a shock FA Cup exit to Southampton , while they now no longer have control of the Premier League title race following a nightmare weekend. Arsenal at least appear to have things relatively under control in their Champions League quarter-final, where they hold a 1-0 advantage over Sporting thanks to Kai Havertz’s late winner in Lisbon .

Just when they needed to hit top gear heading into the final months of the season, Arsenal have hit the skids. Losing the Carabao Cup final to City was a blow, but not unpredictable, but the FA Cup quarter-final exit to Championship Southampton was a huge setback.

And worse was to follow with Saturday’s 2-1 home loss to Bournemouth , opening the door to Manchester City in the Premier League title race, with Pep Guardiola’s men taking full advantage with a 3-0 win at Chelsea on Sunday. City can now draw level with Arsenal on points if they win their game in hand and beat the Gunners at the Etihad on Sunday, and the Londoners will be desperate to go into that match on the back of a morale-boosting European performance.

Viktor Gyokeres made it six goals in five games for club and country with his penalty against the Cherries , and the Sweden hitman is 6/5 to extend that streak against former employers Sporting . Gabriel Jesus is the same odds, while Havertz whose first-leg strike was a third goal in four Champions League appearances for the German this season is 6/4. You can also get 9/4 for wonderkid Max Dowman to become the first 16-year-old to score a Champions League goal this week.

Defeat at home has left Sporting with a mountain to climb against Arsenal, who are 2/1 favourites to lift their maiden Champions League in May, but the Portuguese champions are far from out of the tie.

They have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, including a stunning 5-0 home victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League last 16 that saw them overturn a 3-0 deficit. Rui Borges’ men are 10/1 to win in London and 16/1 to qualify in normal time, and they showed at the Estadio Jose Alvalade what threat they can pose to Arsenal .

However, Sporting have only won one away game in Europe this season, and we think their dreams of a maiden semi-final appearance will end in north London , although you can get 11/4 for the visitors to win either half, which is worth considering.
