Arsenal will beat Porto in my own calculations and that will assist them to move further in the next rounds. I want Arsenal to put in much more efforts this time around to be able to claim this trophy but one good thing that will also mean is that, they will break an history they have been fight for for many years now and unable to take the trophy.
Many people say that in Porto's match against Arsenal in the last 16, Arsenal will progress to the next round, I also have that prediction. But for me, Arsenal getting through will not be easy because currently Arsenal's weakness is that they don't have an attacker who is truly deadly in front of the opponent's goal. Just look at when Arsenal lost against Westham, they controlled the match, they even often threatened the opponent's defense, but they had difficulty scoring goals.
So I think Arsenal's 1st leg will be a draw, Porto are not a great team, they have more European pedigree than Arsenal and may be on fire. As far as I know, Porto have some deadly attackers. Still need to be careful of them. I think Arsenal can take the opportunity to win when Arsenal play the second leg at home. Arsenal just won this match so they qualified for the next round. This is just my prediction
We have already to discuss about this before and Arsenal is the favourite and many people will predict they will be able to overcomes Porto and easily to advances to the next round and if i am not mistaken this is the first time to Arsenal to playing at round of 16 under Arteta because previously Arsenal always be failed to reach top 4 and indeed one of Arsenal biggest weaknesses is they don't have sharp striker at their team because so far only Bukayo Saka who can able to performing well and scores 8 goals in all competitions and he is a midfielder not striker
However Porto have more experience in champion league compared to Arsenal because according to their statistics in this competition almost for each year Porto always be playing at group stages even they were often to advances to the round of 16 so Porto cannot be underestimate but indeed for first leg Porto will playing as a host so i think they want to utilized their home match to gets the winning result and during group stages Porto only lose from Barcelona with narrow score besides that Porto can able to win with big scores several times so this is big challenge for Arsenal to beat Porto or at least gets draw result in the first leg
