Porto

The "Dragons" are accustomed to competing in the Champions League, hence reaching the Round of 16 is not perceived as a fantastical achievement, but progressing further will pose a challenge. Porto currently sits third in the Portuguese league, trailing the leader by 7 points. If Sporting win their postponed matches, the gap could widen to 10 points. In their recent fixture, Porto secured a 2-0 victory at home against modest Estrela. Injuries will sideline Zaidu and Marcano for this match.

Arsenal

The "Gunners" strive to maintain their position in the fiercely contested race for the Premier League title. Despite occasional setbacks, Arsenal currently occupies second place in the league, trailing the leader by a mere two points. In their recent league fixture, Arteta's charges left no chance for Burnley, clinching a resounding 5-0 victory away from home, marking their fifth consecutive win. Given Arsenal's absence from the Champions League for some time, progressing beyond the group stage may prove challenging. Zinchenko and Tymber are ruled out due to injuries, while Vieira Jesus, Partey, and Tomiyasu remain doubtful.

Intriguing Match Insights and Head-to-Head History

• The teams have met thrice in the Champions League, experiencing mixed fortunes. However, only once was it at the knockout stage, back in 2010, also in the Round of 16, where Arsenal progressed.
• In their last five encounters, the "Gunners" have netted 21 goals.
• Porto remains undefeated at home in 10 consecutive matches across all competitions, boasting nine victories and one draw.

Porto vs Arsenal Prediction

Bookmakers favor Arsenal, given their stronger squad and commendable season performance. However, playing on home turf is Porto's main advantage. The Portuguese club must showcase their best football to overcome such formidable opponents. We consider a wager on Arsenal's outright victory to be reasonable in this scenario.
