Leverkusen vs. RB Salzburg

Prediction: Leverkusen 2–1 RB Salzburg

Sporting CP vs. Arsenal

Prediction: Sporting 0–2 Arsenal

Arsenal suffered its first UCL defeat last time out against the reigning Serie A champion. Though, Mikel Arteta's team looked like one reborn against Nottingham Forest this past weekend. Ruben Amorim has left, and left on a high note at that in Europe defeating Manchester City last time out. Viktor Gyokeres remains one of the most talented and dangerous strikers in the world currently, but Arsenal get a big victory on the road.
