The situation in the Premier League is currently amazing. Arsenal and Liverpool are levelled on points at the top of the table, one point ahead of Manchester City. The Gunners have won 8 consecutive Premier League games, scoring 33 goals and conceding 4 in these matches. At the end of March Arsenal will face Manchester City.
Porto are 3rd in the Portuguese league. They’re 6 points behind the second place, currently only qualifying for the next Europa League season. The side isn’t really stable. They lost the game versus Arouca (2:3) and ended their match against Gil Vicente in a draw (1:1). However, Porto beat Benfica two rounds ago (5:0).
The first leg ended with a Porto victory (1:0) thanks to a late goal scored by Galeno. The sides met on several occasions in the Champions League. Arsenal won all three home games (5:0, 4:0 and 2:0). Porto never lost a head-to-head game in Portugal, though (0:0, 2:0 and 2:1).
You can bet on Arsenal at 6/25. The odds offered for Porto to win are at around 14/1. You can also bet on a draw at the odds of around 27/5.
Betting on Porto +1.5 in regular time has been successful in the last 7 Champions League away games of the Portuguese side.
At least one team hasn’t scored a goal in regular time in 8 out of the last 10 Champions League home games of Arsenal.
Porto played well in the first game. However, let’s be honest - it’s going to be extremely hard for the Portuguese side to resist in a game with current Arsenal. Bookmakers don’t believe in Porto at all. Probably, everything will be exactly the way it was in 2010, when Arsenal beat Porto 5:0 in London after losing the first game.
One way or another, I believe that we will see quite many goals scored in this match. Both teams have performed really well in their attacking actions recently.
