Arsenal v Porto Odds
The Arsenal v Porto odds for this Arsenal Porto Betting Champions League Group encounter, has the Gunners as clear favourites but the odds have taken into account the shock defeat they suffered against Hull City in the Premiér League at the weekend. Arsenal had looked a really good side up until then, particularly after their youth team won through in the Carling Cup match against Sheffield United last week by 6 goals to nil. Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager was visibly shocked, after Hull came back from a goal down at the Emirates. He admitted afterwards that Hull had wanted the game more than his side and he knows that against Porto, team desire will be crucial

They will come to the Emirates in the full knowledge that a win or a draw will put them in the box seat in this group and would also put Arsenal in a very precarious position. Arsenal have conceded several goals from corners so far this season and they clearly have work to do on defending set pieces. Goalkeeper Almunia, does not seem to command his box in the same way as past Arsenal goalkeepers have done, this is an area where Porto could easily take advantage and it would surprise nobody if the Portugese side got at least a draw from the game. The last time the two teams met in the Champions League was 2 years ago when Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners. Arsenal are 1/2 favourites, while Porto can be backed at 13/2 to win. The draw is a 3/1 option.
