Arsenal will be kicking itself for losing the opening leg via a stoppage-time goal, but Mikel Arteta’s side is still seen as an overwhelming favorite to reach the last eight in the Champions League. Anything else on Tuesday night would be a massive surprise, especially considering the team’s home form.
In the Premier League alone, Arsenal has won nine of its last 10 outings, and the team also had a perfect record at the Emirates during the Champions League group stage. Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka led the attack, while David Raya kept clean sheets in all three games as Arsenal dominated at home with a total score of 12-0.
Arteta has found a perfect balance between the attack and defense in his team, and the side’s outstanding play could lead to a very special spring in 2024. The Gunners are showing great spirit in the Premier League title race, and they could also be regarded among the frontrunners for the Champions League crown if they secure qualification into the next round on Tuesday.
Porto, which has reached the quarter-finals only four times in the Champions League since shocking Europe by winning the competition 20 years ago, heads to England in encouraging form. Sergio Conceicao has suffered only one defeat with his team across the past 15 outings in all competitions. Similarly to Arsenal, Porto has done a fantastic job at the back without sacrificing quality up front.
The Dragons have just delivered a major sign of intent in the Portuguese league by beating title-defending Benfica 5-0, and a big result on Tuesday would make Europe take note as well. Porto’s trips to England tend to be full of misery, as the team hasn’t won any of its 21 away matches against English clubs, losing 18 times.
Porto’s last away match against Arsenal ended in a 5-0 defeat, and it has been three straight away defeats against the 13-time English champions, with Porto failing to score in all of the meetings.
