UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[nimethasa]

Arsenal will undoubtedly receive relatively low odds because their next game will be played at home and we know the reputation of emirate stadium this season. it's always becoming the house of dead to the other clubs. Arsenal has always performed well at home, so it makes sense that bookmakers would offer very low odds for Arsenal. Porto will face a major test to determine its status in UCL. Arsenal was always playing crazily at home by scoring as many goals as possible. It's obvious that Arsenal will win the game soon, but Porto still has a slight chance as long as porto keep plays defensively. Porto will probably win as long as the game ends in a draw. The main requirement is for the club to utilize a parking bus strategy against Arsenal. I don't mind if porto played so passively in this match as long as it will win the game or draw.


This will also have a significant impact on Arsenal's performance because scoring will be more difficult, causing them to panic even more. Betting in Porto involves a high risk of losing your bet. I'd rather bet on a total of over 2.75 or BTTS.
It is likely that Porto will be able to defeat Arsenal, but it all depends on the strategy that will be used in the upcoming game against Arsenal. I will call porto a a stupid club if it's putting the big risk by playing offensively against arsenal.
Arsenal is capable enough to destroy it with huge margins. Put all players into the penalty box and it will help club a lot.

Arsenal is scheduled to host Porto in the 2nd leg of the UCL Round of 16 in few days at the Emirates. Arsenal who on aggregate are currently behind after losing the first leg with a last minute goal will be going into this match with much confidence to reverse the score and get the qualification. Arsenal team are on fore currently from the matches we’ve seen the club play after that defeat and how massive they’ve been scoring and playing as a team. This brings us to know where they’ll be garnering confidence for this fixture

 Their current form and momentum is one of the major reasons why Arsenal should be favored to defeat Porto. They have dominantly won their last 7 games since mid season break and they’ve scored whooping 31 goals which is massive and worthy of recognition. Now they are have been handed a major boost which brings them to sit top of the EPL table with the win against Brentford over the weekend. Arsenal have a better squad depth as compared to Porto and most of their players returning from injury is a major boost as this would cause lots of worry for Porto.

Arteta is a tactical genius and you can’t doubt he’s got the acumen to be able to build up a tactics to explore on Porto’s weaknesses with his boy’s strength. The major confidence is them playing at the Emirate, the joy of playing infront of their devoted fans and at a familiar ground will be the biggest boost that they can sure overturn this aggregate score. The fans presence will give an extra dose of inspiration, and confidence as they face Porto. Porto are in for a big game and I’m sure Arsenal will feast on them properly so if I’m to place my money on this game, I think I’m confident of Arsenal having up to 3 goals in this match.

Regarding this match, there is good news for Porto and it's about the player of Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli.
It seems Martinelli can't help his team in the important game they are going to have against Porto in the Champions League.
While in the first leg, Arsenal lost the match with a 1-0 result and this can damage the team because they will be under more pressure to have an attacking style in this match. However, that's not hard for Arteta and his players to score many goals in this match because Arsenal had good attacks during the games we saw from them in this season but still, this can make the game very hard to predict and very much risky to bet on any of these two teams for this match.

not too big an impact without the presence of gabriel martinieli. because arsenal players who have high attacking power are still many. there is gabriel jesus who has fully recovered from his injury even though he is still rarely played as a starting eleven in arsenal's line up. bukayo saka, kai harvert, odegard and more.

[asriloni]

I think this mistake is understandable, because not all experiments sometimes run perfectly and Ancelotti is great at admitting his mistakes. Ancelotti is trying to vary the lineup, to see how good one or two players are in different positions like Valvarde. The draw was not bad, and it was proven that Los Blancos had succeeded in qualifying for the quarter finals.

If we look at Madrid starting XI when facing Leipzig, Ancelotti really experimented and took huge risks. Ancelotti only fielded the only striker, namely Vinicius, and we know Valvarde was on the right wing and Bellingham was placed as a false nine. A decision that not all coaches dare to make, unless they believe that their players can carry out different tasks well.

I see that Ancelotti decision is aimed at rotating his players, anticipating player fatigue and minimizing the risk of injury. Because Madrid has a busy match schedule, Ancelotti is certainly not joking with his choice. As an experienced coach, Ancelotti can certainly see the potential of his players well, such as placing Tchouameni as a central defender when Los Blancos had a defensive crisis.

It seems true, as long as real was not losing in that game, and that's enough. This can be a very important lesson for ancellotti and i must also appreciate how ancellotti was also apologizing his mistake during the match against leipzig by wrongly used the incorrect strategy to be implemented in the team.
Yeah the starting eleven seems quite different in that match. It seemed to me that if the match against leipzig used as an experiment for real madrid. Ancelotti will learn a lot from this mistake to make sure he will not repeat it again in the upcoming game.

Glad there was still vini who was able to save the club from losing in that game. His goal helped real madrid to go to the next stage. Real madrid may able to play even better if ancelotti used the correct strategy.

I think ancellotti took all of those decisions without even try to deepely analyze their opponents before.

Barcelona will act as hosts in the second leg, this is one of the factors why Barcelona deserves to be favored over Napoli. It's true that Barcelona as a whole posted better statistics, Napoli experienced setbacks and had to change coaches twice this season. Even though Xavi plans to stop at the end of the season, he is determined to take Barcelona further in the Champions League this season. Apart from that, in their last match Napoli drew, while Barcelona managed to win.

The match between Barcelona versus Napoli is difficult to predict, because Barcelona not too dominant over Napoli. However, Barcelona has more complete attributes than Napoli, such as a more even squad depth and a better reputation. It could be that Napoli managed to get rid of Barcelona, but on paper Barcelona is the right favorite. Everything will be proven in the second leg, betting on their victory seems very risky.

The problem still lies in the performance of both clubs which is still very difficult to guess until now.
Honestly, by looking at their first leg matches and some of their performances in domestic competitions, I am still quite doubtful about who will eventually qualify for the quarter-finals because their performances are still unpredictable.
At the moment the situation is still fifty-fifty although indeed playing at the Camp Nou is not wrong to make them a favorite in this match but with Barcelona's current performance it also cannot be a guarantee actually.

Currently, Barcelona and Napoli's problems are still the same where the problem is the poor finishing, only Napoli's advantage at this time is that Barcelona will not be strengthened by some of their productive midfielders because De Jong and Pedri are currently following Gavi for a slightly longer treatment so this can be used as a good opportunity for Napoli.

Napoli couldn't secure a winning score against Blaugrana in the first leg and its pure motivation for Barcelona to fight back in the second leg. Barcelona will hosts Napoli in the second leg of round of 16, an important game that deserves the big winning from the exact club that clinched on winning form. Nobody gets a clear view except for clubs that have fought really hard to enter significant phase in the UEFA Champions League. Xavi Hernandez will ensure everything works smoothly as plan for his side because he already missed out on the La Liga title race but the UEFA Champions League will be intact for them this season.

Totally depends on what strategy is gonna be used by napoli in this match. Calzona shall use his creativity to ensure that his club will be able to win against barcelona soon. Playing offensive against barcelona has same meant like club to do suicide. Barcelona will be fully offensive in this game no matter how complete the line up of napoli.
Blaugrana must able to get a ticket to go to the next stage. The situation may be getting even more difficult since napoli was not getting good warm up in the previous game. Napoli needs to get the main weakness of barcelona to win the match

[klidex]

The main problem with predicting this match is that both Barcelona and Napoli have erratic performances. It is impossible to say which team will play better in which match. We have seen several times this season that Barcelona have dropped points even against relatively weak teams.

However, compared to Napoli, everyone is keeping the Barcelona team ahead in this match. Barcelona's overall performance is better than Napoli's. Even Barcelona's squad is stronger than Napoli's. Moreover, Barcelona's overall performance was better than Napoli in the first leg match. This is the reason why Barcelona team is considered as the favorite in the second leg home match of Barcelona.

Barcelona will act as hosts in the second leg, this is one of the factors why Barcelona deserves to be favored over Napoli. It's true that Barcelona as a whole posted better statistics, Napoli experienced setbacks and had to change coaches twice this season. Even though Xavi plans to stop at the end of the season, he is determined to take Barcelona further in the Champions League this season. Apart from that, in their last match Napoli drew, while Barcelona managed to win.

The match between Barcelona versus Napoli is difficult to predict, because Barcelona not too dominant over Napoli. However, Barcelona has more complete attributes than Napoli, such as a more even squad depth and a better reputation. It could be that Napoli managed to get rid of Barcelona, but on paper Barcelona is the right favorite. Everything will be proven in the second leg, betting on their victory seems very risky.

Barcelona certainly has a bigger chance than Napoli in the second leg this time because they are playing at home. Many bettors definitely favor Barcelona to win because statistically Barcelona has better experience than Napoli. Napoli is actually making progress after changing coaches recently, but Napoli's performance is not completely stable, while Barcelona still has a more stable performance compared to Napoli. Barcelona itself has a coach who is great at rotating players and I am sure that even though Xavi decides to leave at the end of the season, he will also remains professional and continues to provide his best strategy when Barcelona is still struggling in the Champions League.

Indeed, the match between Barcelona vs Napoli is a little difficult to predict because Napoli is also not an easy opponent for Barcelona, but with Barcelona's hard work by taking advantage of opportunities at home, of course Barcelona can get rid of Napoli because on paper Barcelona has a bigger advantage. Napoli does still have a chance to get rid of Barcelona because in the first leg there was a draw but to get rid of Barcelona is not an easy thing for Napoli because they are playing away from home. Betting one of the clubs club is actually risky but if you bet on both teams to score it is a safer option and not too risky.

Simeone might be able to provide a surprise in the second leg match with a different strategy from the previous match, but Inzaghi may also have prepared a better strategy for his team so that they can play optimally in the second leg match. At least Inter Milan can win narrowly which is enough to help. make it able to qualify for the next round, but Inter Milan should not underestimate Atletico Madrid because whatever it is, this is a big UCL match where all teams will play more optimally than playing in the domestic league, I'm sure the second leg will be played with high tension. . Whoever wins will definitely advance to the next round.

Inter Milan is much more favored than Atletico Madrid and this is not only because they play consistently in Serie A but also the mentality and experience that makes Inter Milan much more favored. Inter Milan were also runners-up last season in the Champions league so they will definitely try to repeat the success and try to chase the trophy for this season. Of course it won't be easy because Atletico Madrid is also a club that often plays in the Champions League so their mentality and experience are also the same and Atletico is slightly superior because they are playing at home.

Maybe it will be a little more difficult to predict this match because in the first leg Inter Milan also won narrowly when playing at home, so when the second leg takes place Atletico Madrid has the opportunity to reply. But I am much more confident that Inter Milan will be able to withstand the pressure and they will qualify for the next round.

Not only that Inter Milan also appear quite consistent this indicates where they can win again even though it is an away match, it does not matter as long as Inter Milan is able to hold a draw because it is certain that Atletico Madrid will continue to press now on Inter Milan when they need goals to win.

Why do I believe Inter Milan can qualify, because in Serie A and the Champion League they already have a mentality especially with Serie A it is a comfort where Inter Milan will definitely win Serie A.

Inter Milan's experience in the champions league is much greater than Atletico, in this match may be willing to bet on Inter Milan or a draw of 1X2 bets.

You are actually right on this one here, inter Milan Is of a more formidable opposition than this atletico side, just look at their current form they are in their league and the experience they have in their ranks, I really don't see atletico Madrid reversing this game, and sending inter Milan home, because I don't think they are better than inter Milan regardless of the home advantage they will have in this reverse fixture,  though I think it might end in a draw and Inter Milan will progress to the next stage of the competition through that, but atletico Madrid beating inter Milan is a No no to me, because they aren't good enough to achieve such result.

Blaugrana must able to get a ticket to go to the next stage. The situation may be getting even more difficult since napoli was not getting good warm up in the previous game. Napoli needs to get the main weakness of barcelona to win the match

Napoli could not take advantage of their home advantage in the first leg match against Barcelona because it only ended in 1 - 1 draw and in the second leg match Barcelona will have the advantage over their home match, this will be tough match for Napoli.
I not sure Calzona can bring Napoli to victory in the second leg, even though he is great coach and has pretty good strategy in building team, he will have difficulty bringing Napoli forward in the next round.
Barcelona will win the match, even though they are in conditions that can be said to be unstable, but they clearly have all the support to win over Napoli.
Moreover, currently Napoli are also not showing good consistency in every match, even though after changing coaches they have been able to get several wins in Serie A, but this is UCL competition and they are eliminating each other in order to continue to survive.

Well see what Calzona will do, whether he is able to bring Napoli to victory in the away match against Barcelona or instead suffer defeat and be eliminated from the UCL competition.

[tusandii]

Barcelona has a higher chance of winning the match, even though several key players are injured. The second leg will be held at Barcelona headquarters, which will certainly benefit Xavi squad. Napoli experienced more ups and downs in performance than Barcelona, their position in the Serie A standings is a reference that they are very inconsistent, and failed to finish in the top four of the standings. Barcelona is still in the top four in La Liga, and has a big chance of appearing in the Champions League next season. Barcelona winning percentage was quite high in the second leg, Xavi had to formulate a strategy so that his team could win easily.

I can say Barcelona have good odds than Napoli because both team have proven to be stronger and watching them play in their perspective league this weekend was totally dissapointing, Napoli held a draw while Barcelona struggled to score a goal making it 1 nil victory against their opponent. These are elite team and they're not obligated to be facing challenges this season. Thinking about or it more coincidence, Barcelona and Napoli lifted the league title last season but this current one comes with a whole lot surprises on both ends.

Barcelona decides about the result of this game, but remember that in the first leg it was quite a typical Barcelona game. They were the better team, had the better start into the game and several chances to get ahead with two goals, but then they conceded that goal because of a brilliant Napoli attack and afterwards Napoli suddenly had all the chances to win that game. Barcelona literally forgets the game plan when they concede a goal and it is not the first time this season. So if Barcelona keeps control over the game most of the time, I guess they will be the winner or at least have bigger chances. But if Napoli can score a goal, it's probably going to be almost equal chances for both teams.

Yes, I understand that Barcelona has a bigger chance and most people here really favor Barcelona as the winner, but even though Napoli performance was bad when the coach changed, Barca should not underestimate Napoli because they have Victor Osimhen who is endangering Barca defense and Xavi will definitely know this so It is possible that when the match starts, Xavi will give the defense players a strategy to focus on Osimhen and not leave even the slightest gap so that Osimhen is unable to score and end up winning.
There is something I am worried about if the Barca players are trying to defend but Osimhen is a reliable player who can find gaps wherever he is so I am worried if it will end with a draw but I still hope that a narrow win is very good.

Another concern I have is wondering whether Barca main players will be able to return when playing against Napoli because de Jong is really a player who can be relied on so if in this match Barca can't compete with de Jong, it will definitely be a little difficult to win at the end of the match.
From all experience, Barcelona is very convincing but Napoli has more complete players and does not have the problem of absent players.
The hopes of all supporters are on Xavi to be able to manage the Barcelona players well to continue the match until the semi-finals.

[rendravolt]

Regarding this match, there is good news for Porto and it's about the player of Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli.
It seems Martinelli can't help his team in the important game they are going to have against Porto in the Champions League.
While in the first leg, Arsenal lost the match with a 1-0 result and this can damage the team because they will be under more pressure to have an attacking style in this match. However, that's not hard for Arteta and his players to score many goals in this match because Arsenal had good attacks during the games we saw from them in this season but still, this can make the game very hard to predict and very much risky to bet on any of these two teams for this match.




https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/breaking-gabriel-martinelli-hands-arsenal-28787932   

It's an incalculable loss and seeing Martinelli's role as a left winger is so important, it will make it more difficult for Arsenal to penetrate from the left side of the opponent's defense. However, Mikel Arteta doesn't need to be confused because he still has Trossard to replace Martinelli and the Belgian player is actually quite good. But Trossard is more often used by Mikel Arteta as a supersub and seeing him possibly playing as a starter makes me doubt whether he can make a difference or not.

The problem for Arsenal is how they will be able to get past Porto's strong defense, especially since there is an experienced defender in this competition, namely Pepe. Even though he is 40 years old, his role as controller of Porto's defense in the first leg repeatedly succeeded in thwarting Arsenal's attacks. It will be very difficult if this main job cannot be completed and it is possible that if Arsenal is still deadlocked, then Porto will maximize this aggregate advantage and Arsenal could go home sooner.

Let's see who is more effective in implementing strategy in this match or who can carry out the instructions better given by the coach, whether the Barcelona team or the Napoli team. In terms of advantages, Barcelona has a bigger advantage than Napoli, because they will play at their home base. Their target in the first leg was to at least succeed in preventing Napoli from winning the match, because if Napoli managed to win the match, then their task in the second leg would be even more difficult because they would most likely face a team that was defending deeper. However, with this draw, Napoli did not have many options and had to play aggressively to enable them to progress to the next round.
To be honest, I personally have the same doubts about these two teams, because they are both not in very good condition, so these doubts arise in my mind. However, for this match, I prefer Barcelona as the favorite, I think many people will have the same prediction, because if you look at it in terms of profits, it is clear that they have the advantage.

Looking at the odds, Arsenal remains heavy favorite.

It's really worth to bet draw or Porto to win, looking at their previous match, Arsenal was struggling to beat Brentford while Porto is still strong until now. So I expect this match should ends in draw, Porto don't have to win while Arsenal will try their best to win.

I think it is quite risky to bet on a draw or on Porto winning because Arsenal's percentage of being able to turn things around is very large.
Arsenal have quite strong strength at the moment, apart from the hard-fought victory they got against Brentford last weekend, this cannot be used as a reference because they only look at one match, but look at Arsenal's overall performance.

Porto cannot be underestimated, but realistically, Arsenal's strength is much stronger and this match will be played at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home ground, so I think it is better to bet on Arsenal winning this match.

It's really worth to bet draw or Porto to win, looking at their previous match, Arsenal was struggling to beat Brentford while Porto is still strong until now. So I expect this match should ends in draw, Porto don't have to win while Arsenal will try their best to win.

I still think Arsenal can turn things around, because if we refer to their previous three matches, Arsenal consistently won, two of which were achieved with big scores. It would be a shame if the Gunners failed to catch up on the goal deficit, considering they will act as hosts at the Emirates. But if Porto plays with a defensive strategy, Arteta fleet will find it difficult to penetrate.

There is a possibility that the match will end in a draw, so Arsenal will be eliminated because Porto is 1 goal ahead. The second leg is the toughest test for Arteta fleet, his skill in formulating strategies will be determined in that match. Apart from that, Arsenal are often eliminated in the round of 16, Arteta must instill a winning mentality in his players, and must work hard to break this bad trend.

On paper, Arsenal deserves to be the favorite, they will get full support from their own fans, the Gunners don't want to see their fans disappointed and crying again. Now they have gained valuable capital and good confidence, in the EPL they have the luck to lead the standings.

Even though they are still favorites, Arsenal are still under pressure after achieving poor results in the first leg. Porto which is still consistently maintaining its performance, only needs a draw in this match to qualify for the quarter-finals. Porto's last two matches were also very impressive, they managed to score 8 goals without conceding. A strong defense was Arsenal's threat in the second leg, Porto only needed to close the space so that Arsenal players could not easily build attacks.

[QueenVera]

Atletico who think their look strong at home actually have to make mistakes in the first leg by playing defense, honestly I think Atletico Madrid can even have a chance to be able to equalize the score or even beat Intermilan in that game if they do not defend completely, like you said, Atletico now is not Atletico a few seasons ago who did have a balance between their forwards and also the backline,  For now I also don't think if Atletico will be able to overcome the attack carried out by Intermilan later, let alone they are burdened with 1 goal on aggregate.

If we compare Atletico then and now it is very different, Atletico who used to often park the bus when indeed they were superior both home and away, while Atletico now precisely every time they play with a team that is at the same level as them at the opponent's home, they will choose to defend and just counterattack to keep the ball away from their defense and we can see this happening in some important matches Atletico.
In the second leg match maybe Atletico will try to attack although it is also possible that they will still defend fully, but when I see Intermilan who are still playing impressively in the league when they are close enough to the Scudetto and without caring they continue to play attacking when facing their opponents, and that's why 1 goal aggregate may not make Intermilan defend and will instead continue to attack Atletico to add to the aggregate victory in second leg match.

The UCL round of 16 leg 2nd leg continues this week and one of the major match of focus is Athletico vs Inter Milan. This match holds lots of excitement because of how similar both teams plays.Though I’m not expecting any excitement from the match especially and I don’t have any other expectation than seeing Inter being able to go through. Many will want to argue and talk about Athletico playing at home and its effect and I just can’t help but to laugh like as if they can’t easily predict what will go down. Yes it can be easily predicted because they’ll come into this match to try to get the fast one on Inter amd then might get hirt by a counter this is because the front and backline of this Athletico team isn’t balanced as they used to be some years back.

 This is one major reason why you see them all calm and trying to hold up the defense line like they did in the first leg. The Athletico mAdrid team have zero urgency to progress the game forward or play through the lines and this will keep them lacking when opportunities present itself. As this is the best way to hit on Inter if they really want to get anything off this match. The Inter Milan squad are a very paced squad and have strong attackers who can be able to break between the lines and they’re also organized defensively as you can see how the played in the first leg. For this reason I’m sure banking on Inter again to get the win.

 Inter will sure win this as they’re not looking like a team satisfied with the 1-0 aggregate score as they want to also hurt the Spanish team the more and they’re very balanced to do so and will do so. Athletico will have to come out and attack and try out their lucks but they must do so being wary of the fast pace attack of Inter Milan.This match like I said I think will be going the way of Inter and nothing is going to change that. Inter can be quiet and still dirty when the match wants to go dirty and they’re a team that can match Diego Simeone toe for toe. The defense of Athletico isn’t as strong as we know it to be and can’t be fully relied on.

Looking at the odds, Arsenal remains heavy favorite.

It's really worth to bet draw or Porto to win, looking at their previous match, Arsenal was struggling to beat Brentford while Porto is still strong until now. So I expect this match should ends in draw, Porto don't have to win while Arsenal will try their best to win.

I see Arsenal been the favourite in this game as a trap by the bookies because looking at every Indication the probable chance of draw is way higher to a win, although Arsenal has been doing great in the premier league they still doesn't look too convincing for the champions league because the game in the champions league is actually very tensed and way too competitive than it is in various domestic leagues.

Porto since after their first encounter with Arsenal has continued to still remain firm in their performance and I think they will be able to put Arsenal on their toes by not giving them an easy game to win and looking at Arsenal last performance which they literally struggled  against Brentford, it's like an indication to the fact that their chances to win Porto isn't that great because normally previous games before the next has got a way of affecting players psychology and confidence too except Arsenal is quick enough to snap out of it they seem to be setting into a new slow down period.

A draw will actually favour Porto, even tho the gunners may try not to want to end their champions league journey at this point a draw wouldn't do much for them because they are already a g behind of which they will have to make up for if they must further proceed into the next stage of the game. Porto on the oder hand wouldn't want to jeopardize this opportunity so they will fight to get a draw which will still be in their advantage.

It's an incalculable loss and seeing Martinelli's role as a left winger is so important, it will make it more difficult for Arsenal to penetrate from the left side of the opponent's defense. However, Mikel Arteta doesn't need to be confused because he still has Trossard to replace Martinelli and the Belgian player is actually quite good. But Trossard is more often used by Mikel Arteta as a supersub and seeing him possibly playing as a starter makes me doubt whether he can make a difference or not.

The problem for Arsenal is how they will be able to get past Porto's strong defense, especially since there is an experienced defender in this competition, namely Pepe. Even though he is 40 years old, his role as controller of Porto's defense in the first leg repeatedly succeeded in thwarting Arsenal's attacks. It will be very difficult if this main job cannot be completed and it is possible that if Arsenal is still deadlocked, then Porto will maximize this aggregate advantage and Arsenal could go home sooner.

Looking at the odds, Arsenal remains heavy favorite.

It's really worth to bet draw or Porto to win, looking at their previous match, Arsenal was struggling to beat Brentford while Porto is still strong until now. So I expect this match should ends in draw, Porto don't have to win while Arsenal will try their best to win.

The Premier League Competition is not always easy you see, they struggled but what happened at the very end of the game? Three points, Yes? Don't joke with em during the Premier League fixtures but in the Champions League Competition, there's so much doubts honestly. I don't see a draw coming close enough to the game. Arsenal might have no Champions League over the years in the Champions League Competition but they shouldn't be underestimated.

My final predictions would be for Arsenal to win with three to four goals in this game.  Barcelona also at home wouldn't want to take chances, t's a good day to see them come out victorious against Napoli.

I think it is quite risky to bet on a draw or on Porto winning because Arsenal's percentage of being able to turn things around is very large.
Arsenal have quite strong strength at the moment, apart from the hard-fought victory they got against Brentford last weekend, this cannot be used as a reference because they only look at one match, but look at Arsenal's overall performance.

Porto cannot be underestimated, but realistically, Arsenal's strength is much stronger and this match will be played at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home ground, so I think it is better to bet on Arsenal winning this match.

  These season, arsenal is performing absolutely well and betting on draws for them won't end up well, you see, the recent record of arsenal is quite interesting and any other teams that's playing with them should also have strong players too.
   The team have good players like
*Christian Pulisic.
*Alex Morgan.
*Trinity Rodman.
*Giovanni Reyna.
And 4 others.
But for Porto, they also have
*Galeno
*Pepê Aquino
*João Mário
*Diogo Costa.
And 4 others
   There is no hidden threat rather than the whole threat on both teams lines in the football field, so what I am saying is that the result of the both teams is on their players.
Less I forget, the both teams have good players presently.
