Arsenal go into this second leg Champions League last 16 match against Porto, with the odds suggesting that they should win comfortably. Some bookmakers have them as short as 4/9 to win, but 4/7 odds on can still be snapped up from bet365. Porto in fact are 11/2 to win, which given all the stats is not a bad price at all and the draw is available at 14/5.
The Gunners are likely to be without talisman, Cesc Fabregas after he picked up a hamstring problem in the 3-1 victory over Burnley, which could give the visitors a big advantage, particularly as much of Arsenal’s attacking play revolves around the Spanish maestro.

Porto of course come to The Emirates leading by 2-1 from the first leg, but it is quite a worrying fact for Arsenal that Porto have won the aggregate in their last 24 European matches when they have led from the first leg and Arsenal have only once won on aggregate in their last nine ties after losing the first leg. Nonetheless, Arsenal are 8/13 odds on with Bet 365 to qualify for the next round.
The key for Arsenal we think will lie in their ability to keep a clean sheet, if they can do that then they should have enough firepower up front to get the goal or goals needed to win. Add that to the fact that Porto do not have the greatest record in the world in London, they lost 0-4 on their last visit to The Emirates in 2008 and were beaten by Chelsea in the Group phase earlier in the tournament.
We take Arsenal therefore to win the match and the tie and would back them to win this by a 2-0 margin which has odds of 11/2.
