Losing 1-0 to Porto in the first leg was really unfortunate for Arsenal as they played quite overwhelmingly but did not score a goal. Porto is always an unpleasant opponent in the UCL, but looking back at the teams entering the qualifying round, this is a much easier opponent for them. Hopefully the Emirates home field will help Arsenal play more confidently and win against Porto in the second leg.
The 1-0 defeat against Porto was not complicated for Arsenal, even though Porto has always been a bad club, that doesn't mean they are difficult to beat. We know that Porto always beat big clubs in the last 16 of the Champions League, but we have to know that the second leg will be  played at Arsenal which is expected to be beneficial for Arsenal in getting a goal. At least a 2-0 result is enough to advance Arsenal to the next round, at least to avoid a draw or keep Porto from scoring goals above 2, because that will eliminate Arsenal in the number of away goals.  and aggregate goals.

 To me this match between arsenal vs Porto is really going to be a very difficult match for arsenal irrespective of the fact that they are playing at home this time around, just look at the statistics of the previous match at the home stadium of fc Porto, arsenal were the dominant team all through, but they were unable to register even a single shot on target, which is not a good thing for a top quality team as arsenal.

I sees Porto as that team that will makes you pay dearly if they are being underated, and arsenal need to be more direct in their attacking play if they don't want the same scenario that took place last time to repeat itself, but as it stands, the tie is still open, it can still go either ways.
