UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Hanadawa]

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.

Porto will try defensive tactics because they already have the advantage in the first leg. Porto can play very well with their defense. This can be seen from the first leg. But Arsenal played as host in this match. That will give them additional morale and motivation to win the match. Even though it was difficult to win the match against Brentford, I think the match against Porto will be different because Arteta will really prepare a strategy and Arsenal will go all out to win the match. I predict Arsenal will progress to the next round.

It would be an easy 90 minute win for Arsenal. Porto might have a lead over goal but they are no match to what Arsenal is now. The next game is going to be in a much different context as well. Arsenal has placed themselves as the contender for title of the premier league and the match is being hosted in Etihad stadium, the home ground of Arsenal. Arsenal will most probably have a better aggregate than porto during the gameplay and advance to the next round.
Another match on the same day Barcelona vs Napoli would be much competitive one but Barcelona would have a better play.

In fact, Porto was able to beat Arsenal in the first leg thanks to their far more experience playing in the UCL than Arsenal. So it is not surprising if Porto can overcome a team as strong as Arsenal in the first leg. But I am also confident that Arsenal will eventually progress to the next stage. Because Arsenal has also recently had an increase in goal productivity. And Arsenal have also strengthened their defense more recently. Even in the match against Brentford, we could actually see Arsenal almost completely controlling the match. And Brentford even they continue to struggle to get out of the pressure. It's just that Brentford's defense is also very solid. So Arsenal were having quite a difficult time. But in the end Arsenal still won. I am sure that in the Arsenal vs Porto match there will be more than 2 goals and I hope Arsenal will score 3 goals. This seems excessive but we'll see whether Arteta's troops can be relied on at home or not.

Speaking of experience, of course Porto is still better than Arsenal in the Champions League, because as far as I know Porto is the only club from Portugal that won the Champions League with Mourinho in 2004, while Arsenal's best achievement was only reaching the final in the Champions League in 2006, but of course we cannot make a benchmark if Porto is better than Arsenal now because indeed both teams have had very changes Significant and even after the Mourinho era ended in Porto, Porto continued to struggle to reach the last 16 of the Champions League.

Nowadays we are talking about modern football where before the long whistle is sounded by the referee in a match then all possibilities can happen including when Arsenal against Porto in the second leg later, so far a victory with an aggregate of 1 goal is not safe enough for a team to secure their position in the second leg and I think Arsenal will probably follow what Bayern Munich did when they could win from Lazio in the second leg while The first leg Munich actually had to lose 1-0 to Lazio, and I think Munich's condition at that time was not much different from Arsenal.

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.

Let's get the facts straight here, if most people here say that Osimhen is one of the best strikers in the world, it means that everybody admits it is not possible to defend against Osimhen with a 100% guarantee. That is exactly what makes him one of the best strikers in the world. You remember the goal he scored in the first leg against Barcelona, that was a superb movement and an even more superb finish. So of course Xavi will put his focus on defending Osimhen, but I think a team like Barcelona should put most of their focus on their own game, their strengths and that is what Lewandowski said: "if we play our game, we will advance to the next round" and I think he is right about that. As long as they don't play bullshit out of a sudden again, I think this game is going to end in their favor.

But whether Barcelona has the potential to keep up with some of the top teams in the next rounds, I doubt it. We had this topic before that Barcelona is far from their best times.

[X-ray]

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.

Surely Barca will choose an attacking style of play because this is their strength, instead of counter-attacking defense which is not their forte. Imposing a style of play will be Barca's target when they play at home. However, Napoli is not a team that plays defense quite well in recent times, so they may still play a double attack with Barca, although this may be a disadvantage for them.
However, I still believe that the home field factor will help Barca win this match. They are winning at home in their last 3 matches in the Champion League arena. This can be an important factor to help them confidently aim to win against Napoli.
In terms of force, Barca is missing many players due to injuries such as Pedri, Gavi, De Jong, Alejandro Balde, Marcos Alonso and Ferran Torres. Meanwhile, Napoli will be without the services of Jens Cajuste and Cyril Ngonge.

The most important thing that shall be noted if barcelona is still having a lot of capable players who could replace the injured players and it's not something that needs to worry about. As long as barcelona will able to use any advantage and im sure barcelona will win the game soon.
Barcelona should be concerned about a problem when Napoli plays and uses the parking bus strategy, which is known as Barcelona's main weakness. It's not a problem for napoli to miss all of them as long as osimhen and kvarat will play. It's caused by osimhen and kvarat are pivot of napoli to change the situation.

Barcleona was also missing gavi which has always become the main player of barcelona. This game is even harder to predict but im feeling barcelona will win in the upcoing game. It's totally depends on calzona whethr he will also follow what barcelona is going to use.
This is gonna be a very interesting match since barcelona must able to win against napoli soon.

I'd liked to bet on barcelona instead of napoli consider if barcelona will be playing away against napoli soon.

It would be an easy 90 minute win for Arsenal. Porto might have a lead over goal but they are no match to what Arsenal is now. The next game is going to be in a much different context as well.

Another match on the same day Barcelona vs Napoli would be much competitive one but Barcelona would have a better play.

I agree that Arsenal will be win but it will be not an easy match for them.
In Europe competitions Porto never lost with more than 1 goal difference since Sept 2022.
I guess this match will end with 1-0 or 2-1 in 90 minutes, and the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout.

Porto will try defensive tactics because they already have the advantage in the first leg. Porto can play very well with their defense. This can be seen from the first leg. But Arsenal played as host in this match. That will give them additional morale and motivation to win the match. Even though it was difficult to win the match against Brentford, I think the match against Porto will be different because Arteta will really prepare a strategy and Arsenal will go all out to win the match. I predict Arsenal will progress to the next round.

If I refer to Porto's line-up prediction in the match against Arsenal in the second leg, it looks like Sergio Conceicao will apply the same pattern and system as in the first leg match with 4-2-3-1. however, this is only a temporary prediction, it could be that Porto will implement a defensive pattern. however, as far as we know, Porto always applies an offensive pattern in every match. moreover, winning by an aggregate of 1 goal does not make them safe. so, there was no choice but to fight back during the match at Emirates Stadium, the Gunner's home ground.

In the Arsenal camp, this match will be very important and crucial. so, there is no choice but to play allout with all the abilities they have. moreover, the match was held at Arsenal's home Emirates Stadium. the Gunners should be able to overcome Porto at the Emirates, playing in front of their own supporters provides high motivation to overthrow their opponents. there is no choice but to win this match with lots of goals. so, Arteta will prepare his team when they host Porto in the second leg which will be held in the next two days.
what's unique is that the betting market is far in favor of the home team. Arsenal with odds @1.24, while Porto with @12.00. It's clear, isn't it, there's a gap between these two teams? for now, I will not assume and speculate. more precisely, when these two teams met in the second leg. however, as an Arsenal fan. obviously, we give our moral support to our favorite team.

[Patrol69]

I was having high hopes of seeing Atletico madrid took down Inter Milan in this round, but after seeing the first game and the lasts games played by the Atletico Madrid is being more and more difficult to see it happening.

They are not playing good in LaLiga also.

La Liga teams comes for the UEFA Champions League title but they're not getting it because the promising clubs are yet to be decided. Don't ever place your trust on these elite teams because the results they eventually generate appears to be inconsistent and confusing most times. For illustration, the exact scenario of Atletico Madrid, they won Real Betis 2-1 and lost to Cadiz 2-0 which is very confusing result. An elite team will not always be in good form this season, rather there are many more actions to be triggered with these teams.

Among the La Liga clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona have not fared very well in the Champions League, apart from the two teams that are definitely eligible for the Champions League. If we talk about Atlético Madrid, then I will say that this team's record in the Champions League is not very good. Real Madrid has won the most number of Champions League trophies from La Liga so far and this team is one of the favorites to win the Champions League trophy in the current season as well. It is certainly a failure for Barcelona that they have not won the Champions League trophy in the last few seasons. There was a time when Barcelona and Real Madrid used to compete in tournaments like the Champions League and the competition we still remember but we don't see anymore. Real Madrid are in the same position, but Barcelona have dropped far below their position.

I miss when Barcelona and Real Madrid were Champions League titans with Messi and Ronaldo, nearly untouchable. Real Madrid seems to be retaining part of its glory due to their savvy signings. However, Barcelona's condition saddens me. They're floundering without Messi, and their financial troubles have shackled them, making it hard to recover

I think Real Madrid can win the Champions League if they play their cards well. Barcelona has a long road ahead. They need a miracle or a huge investment to recover. The key is clever planning and team spirit, not just signing players. In the Champions League, Atlético Madrid must compete with Inter Milan and others

When Barcelona was a complete team with Messi and Neymar, we saw Barcelona win the Champions League match from five goals down. Barcelona's past and present have no similarities. I still miss the El Clasico matches that used to be between Barcelona and Real Madrid and no matter how many times I watch Barcelona and Real Madrid matches these days, the excitement never works. Earlier, watching Barcelona and Real Madrid play, it seemed that these two teams were arch-enemies and that they did not speak to anyone during the game and the fight, but now that is not the case. We have to accept it because we have no choice but to accept it.

It would be an easy 90 minute win for Arsenal. Porto might have a lead over goal but they are no match to what Arsenal is now. The next game is going to be in a much different context as well. Arsenal has placed themselves as the contender for title of the premier league and the match is being hosted in Etihad stadium, the home ground of Arsenal. Arsenal will most probably have a better aggregate than porto during the gameplay and advance to the next round.

Arsenal should have the better advantage because they have being playing very well and have players on form also they have a better squad but I think Porto will win or draw. Porto have a one goal deposit and they'll have the confidence that they can win arsenal as they did in the first leg  o feel they'll advance because they're being underrated. If they can draw against arsenal at their home, they'll be advancing and I think Porto will go arsenal home looking to just have a draw. Porto hasn't stopped playing well in their league as they have being winning and with that momentum of wins, I think arsenal is going to have a hard time playing them. I love arsenal and it has being very long I watched them playing this well, I just hope they can perform as well as they have being doing when they play tomorrow.

[slapper]

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.

Lean heavily towards Arsenal. My impression, especially following their match against Brentford, is that they're no longer underestimating themselves. Arsenal's resilience, especially at the Emirates, is not to be underestimated. Arsenal struggled against Brentford, but football is about the long game. I expect Arsenal to come out strong due to their firepower and home ground advantage

Porto has played well, but Arsenal at home is different. After seeing enough of these matches, I'm convinced that the Gunners can turn it up when the stakes are high, especially in key situations like today. Arsenal betting feels smarter and safer. If you're investing, back the Gunners. They have talent, drive, and home support. The conditions are ideal for a triumph

I love arsenal and it has being very long I watched them playing this well, I just hope they can perform as well as they have being doing when they play tomorrow.

Porto without doubt is one of the strongest Portuguese teams but they aren't as strong and consistent as Arsenal have been since the start of the season ajd that's why I was very surprised to see them defeat Arsenal by a lone goal in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie. While Porto is in the third position of the Portuguese league, Arsenal currently occupy the top spot in the English Premier League -a league that's regarded by many as the strongest league in the whole world so if we're talking about consistent and quality football, i think Arsenal hace had more than Porto this season but must now do away with statistics and deliver a great performance when they host the Portuguese club tomorrow at the Emirates stadium.
Mikel Arteta have done enough job at Arsenal by improving the team to become one of the best teams in not just England but also in Europe but haven't progressed past the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition since he took over the managerial position at the club but I think he can achieve that this season but will have to overturn the 1:0 deficit from the first leg of their meeting against Porto tomorrow. I believe the Arsenal team under Mikel Arteta can achieve that but they must believe in themselves to do it tomorrow

I agree that Arsenal will be win but it will be not an easy match for them.
In Europe competitions Porto never lost with more than 1 goal difference since Sept 2022.
I guess this match will end with 1-0 or 2-1 in 90 minutes, and the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout.

If the match has to continue until the penalty round to find a winner, I think Arsenal has a big chance of getting rid of Porto. But maybe everything will be finished in normal time, what is clear is that this match will be fierce, and Porto will definitely use a defensive strategy and rely on counter-attacks. Mikel Arteta must be very careful in determining his starting XI, experienced players like Jerginho are better played from the early minutes, to read the weaknesses of Porto defense.

If Arsenal are eliminated from the round of 16 it will be very sad, because they have much better depth than Porto, and acting as hosts should be put to good use to turn things around. Everything will be proven tomorrow, how far Arsenal can go, they have to forget the bad history in the round of 16. With consecutive wins in the Premier League, Arsenal now has good confidence ahead of the second leg.

[Velvet78]

PSV are having a really enormous season in the Eredivisie. However I don't believe they are strong enough to eliminate Dortmund in this round. Dortmund could have already won the first leg but PSV managed to get a draw. But this time I think Dortmund will finish the job in Germany. They should be able to show the quality gap in this game.

I know Dortmund aren't doing well in the Bundesliga. Their Champions League chance is in danger as they might finish out of top four as well. However their performance in the Champions League has been more impressive. Considering their group phase performance they should be able to get past PSV too.

I disagree with your analysis; it is understandable if Arsenal struggles to beat Brentford because they are a Premier League club. Arsenal will beat FC Porto at Emirate Stadium, even though FC Porto is strong. FC Porto is not used to the Emirate Stadium atmosphere, and that will be an advantage to Arsenal.

[hahay]

It would be an easy 90 minute win for Arsenal. Porto might have a lead over goal but they are no match to what Arsenal is now. The next game is going to be in a much different context as well.

I guess this match will end with 1-0 or 2-1 in 90 minutes, and the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout.

If Arsenal have a very good chance to win and qualify then yes, Arsenal should be able to win with a score of 2-0 or higher in 90 minutes. Because after all, Arsenal's good trend in the Premier League should also have a good impact on Arsenal's results in the Champion League at this moment but indeed, at the sametime also that Porto is not a weak team and Porto is also not a team that is easily defeated. Therefore, despite Arsenal being the favored team it will still not be easy for Arsenal to beat Porto by a margin of 2 goals. Also about Barcelona, I also believe that Barcelona still has a chance to win compared to Napoli because indeed, Napoli is also still in transition with its new manager. Therefore, Barcelona should be able to take advantage of this factor to be able to beat Napoli in the second leg later.

[Volgastallion]

In this week we have the best games of this round of 16, so we can expect some fun for us the neutral fans.

Arsenal is gonna push very ahrd on Porto and surely is gonna win, the margin in favor of Porto is very little and without the away goal counting as double like in the past they are gonna be out i think.

My faith on Atletico madrid drops after tht last games of the Simeone team.

[Bobrox]

In fact, Porto was able to beat Arsenal in the first leg thanks to their far more experience playing in the UCL than Arsenal. So it is not surprising if Porto can overcome a team as strong as Arsenal in the first leg. But I am also confident that Arsenal will eventually progress to the next stage. Because Arsenal has also recently had an increase in goal productivity. And Arsenal have also strengthened their defense more recently. Even in the match against Brentford, we could actually see Arsenal almost completely controlling the match. And Brentford even they continue to struggle to get out of the pressure. It's just that Brentford's defense is also very solid. So Arsenal were having quite a difficult time. But in the end Arsenal still won. I am sure that in the Arsenal vs Porto match there will be more than 2 goals and I hope Arsenal will score 3 goals. This seems excessive but we'll see whether Arteta's troops can be relied on at home or not.

First leg, FC Porto make us surprised after defeating Arsenal had impressive performance in premier League with teams most scoring goals every match. Unfortunately Arsenal can't make any attempt or shot on target when facing FC Porto on the first leg match and had to losses over 1-0. I think have difference level competition between domestic league and Champion League, with impressive performance in domestic league and current performance from Arsenal very quit well can't guarantee with their opportunity in Champion League on second leg match for winning above two goals.
FC Porto will totally full defensive on second leg match, leaded over 1-0 on first leg seems enough to make hold draw the second legs match result and securing the quarter final ticket.

[borovichok]

I agree that Arsenal will be win but it will be not an easy match for them.
In Europe competitions Porto never lost with more than 1 goal difference since Sept 2022.
I guess this match will end with 1-0 or 2-1 in 90 minutes, and the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout.

Arsenal are unstoppable in matches, they brings on stellar performance against t opposition and losing doesn't seem to be their current form. Mikel Arteta will be becoming one of the most outstanding coach over time, this is his time to shine and he will do everything to make sure he stays good grounds. Watching their performance in league matches, it's been amazing and straightforward.

Anticipating the score to be 2-1, you're right about the game and we expects excellent results. All expectations coming from Arsenal, they're winning this game and qualifying for the next phase this season. I'm quite aware they've been triumphing over important matches and thrashing oppositions. Mikel Arteta should know what to anticipate versus Porto because Porto is coming to England soil, and a win for the Gunners will ensure supremacy. Arsenal is down by one goal to Porto in the first leg of the round of 16, and the Gunners will host them in the second leg at Emirate Stadium.

[Republikcoin.com]

Porto will try defensive tactics because they already have the advantage in the first leg. Porto can play very well with their defense. This can be seen from the first leg. But Arsenal played as host in this match. That will give them additional morale and motivation to win the match. Even though it was difficult to win the match against Brentford, I think the match against Porto will be different because Arteta will really prepare a strategy and Arsenal will go all out to win the match. I predict Arsenal will progress to the next round.

Having a narrow lead of one goal in the first leg is still not necessarily safe for FC Porto in the second leg which they will play tomorrow. Because Arsenal is also a quite dangerous team when playing in the Champions League with the motivation of being the host, FC Porto still has to try to score a goal in the second leg even though they also have to make a fairly good defensive strategy because if the lead is still very small, of course FC Porto themselves must be aware that they still need to fight hard at home to Arsenal.
