Arsenal will undoubtedly receive relatively low odds because their next game will be played at home and we know the reputation of emirate stadium this season. it's always becoming the house of dead to the other clubs. Arsenal has always performed well at home, so it makes sense that bookmakers would offer very low odds for Arsenal. Porto will face a major test to determine its status in UCL. Arsenal was always playing crazily at home by scoring as many goals as possible. It's obvious that Arsenal will win the game soon, but Porto still has a slight chance as long as porto keep plays defensively. Porto will probably win as long as the game ends in a draw. The main requirement is for the club to utilize a parking bus strategy against Arsenal. I don't mind if porto played so passively in this match as long as it will win the game or draw.

This will also have a significant impact on Arsenal's performance because scoring will be more difficult, causing them to panic even more. Betting in Porto involves a high risk of losing your bet. I'd rather bet on a total of over 2.75 or BTTS.
It is likely that Porto will be able to defeat Arsenal, but it all depends on the strategy that will be used in the upcoming game against Arsenal. I will call porto a a stupid club if it's putting the big risk by playing offensively against arsenal.
Arsenal is capable enough to destroy it with huge margins. Put all players into the penalty box and it will help club a lot.

Regarding this match, there is good news for Porto and it's about the player of Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli.
It seems Martinelli can't help his team in the important game they are going to have against Porto in the Champions League.
While in the first leg, Arsenal lost the match with a 1-0 result and this can damage the team because they will be under more pressure to have an attacking style in this match. However, that's not hard for Arteta and his players to score many goals in this match because Arsenal had good attacks during the games we saw from them in this season but still, this can make the game very hard to predict and very much risky to bet on any of these two teams for this match.

From the latest news regarding the availability of Gabriel Martinelli for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 game between Portuguese club Porto vs Arsenal, it seems that the Brazilian will not be available for that game as a result of injury but that doesn't mean that his absence will give Porto and added advantage of you ask me. Arsenal is one team that posseses a good number of quality players that are very capable of beating any European side on their day and even in the absence of one of them, I still expect Arsenal to deliver great performances because other players who are available can help the team win games. Fir example, in the absence of Gabriel Martinelli in the left flank wing of Arsenal's attacking line, there other good players who can perfectly play in that position like Trossard and Gabriel Jesus as well so even without the presence of Martinelli, Arsenal can still beat Porto even when they're playing as the away team

The main problem with predicting this match is that both Barcelona and Napoli have erratic performances. It is impossible to say which team will play better in which match. We have seen several times this season that Barcelona have dropped points even against relatively weak teams.

However, compared to Napoli, everyone is keeping the Barcelona team ahead in this match. Barcelona's overall performance is better than Napoli's. Even Barcelona's squad is stronger than Napoli's. Moreover, Barcelona's overall performance was better than Napoli in the first leg match. This is the reason why Barcelona team is considered as the favorite in the second leg home match of Barcelona.

Barcelona will act as hosts in the second leg, this is one of the factors why Barcelona deserves to be favored over Napoli. It's true that Barcelona as a whole posted better statistics, Napoli experienced setbacks and had to change coaches twice this season. Even though Xavi plans to stop at the end of the season, he is determined to take Barcelona further in the Champions League this season. Apart from that, in their last match Napoli drew, while Barcelona managed to win.

The match between Barcelona versus Napoli is difficult to predict, because Barcelona not too dominant over Napoli. However, Barcelona has more complete attributes than Napoli, such as a more even squad depth and a better reputation. It could be that Napoli managed to get rid of Barcelona, but on paper Barcelona is the right favorite. Everything will be proven in the second leg, betting on their victory seems very risky.

The second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 game between Barcelona vs Napoli will be a very difficult game for the both clubs if you ask me. The two reigning champions of their respective leagues haven't been consistent this season but Napoli have a the worse team as they've already sacked two managers this season and is currently with their third manager while Barcelona is currently sitting in the third position of their own league table and is still with Xavi Hernandez the manager that helped them win the Spanish La Liga title last season. Napoli failed to win the first leg of the tie when they played at home and will now have to travel to Camp Nou for the second leg and that's why I'll be backing Barcelona to progress to the next round at the expense of Napoli
