Arsenal will be eager to overcome a slender first-leg deficit in a do-or-die UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second-leg clash with FC Porto this Tuesday. 
  • Arsenal vs FC Porto – Tips and Preview
The Gunners slumped to an unexpected 0-1 defeat in Portugal against the two-time Champions League winners.

This put a slight dent in their hopes of reaching a Champions League quarterfinal for the first time in 14 years. Since the defeat, Mikel Arteta’s men have recorded three consecutive victories in the Premier League, while FC Porto recently extended their unbeaten run to six games. 

The visitors are playing some great football and have secured two away victories in their last three games, beating Portimonense and Santa Clara. They also thumped rivals Benefica 5-0 at their home, reinstating themselves as contenders for the domestic league title.

Arsenal have recorded eight consecutive victories in the Premier League. Their narrow win over Brentford this past weekend saw them climb to the top spot in the Premier League table, which was later cemented following a draw between Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Gunners are unbeaten in their last four away games. Gabriel Martinelli was seen in a protective boot after the match against Brentford and is doubtful for the clash against Porto. Meanwhile, Takehiro Tomiyasu is also doubtful. For the visitors, Mehdi Taremi is doubtful.

Arsenal vs FC Porto – Tips and Preview

Given the Gunners' incredible home form over the last few weeks, FC Porto will have their work cut out for them to preserve their advantage in this tie. Both clubs are in amazing goalscoring form, making the likelihood of a goals-galore spectacle higher. 

Arsenal’s spirits will be bolstered by their climb to the pinnacle of the Premier League table over the weekend, and the team will be aiming to achieve more success. The odds are in favour of Arsenal securing a famous home victory by turning the 0-1 deficit around and advancing to the next stage of the tournament.

Verdict

The first leg advantage is with FC Porto, but Arsenal are firm favourites to turn the tie on its head at the Emirates.
