Porto will try defensive tactics because they already have the advantage in the first leg. Porto can play very well with their defense. This can be seen from the first leg. But Arsenal played as host in this match. That will give them additional morale and motivation to win the match. Even though it was difficult to win the match against Brentford, I think the match against Porto will be different because Arteta will really prepare a strategy and Arsenal will go all out to win the match. I predict Arsenal will progress to the next round.
Having a narrow lead of one goal in the first leg is still not necessarily safe for FC Porto in the second leg which they will play tomorrow. Because Arsenal is also a quite dangerous team when playing in the Champions League with the motivation of being the host, FC Porto still has to try to score a goal in the second leg even though they also have to make a fairly good defensive strategy because if the lead is still very small, of course FC Porto themselves must be aware that they still need to fight hard at home to Arsenal.
I agree, Arsenal is a far far better team and I am guessing that they are going to end up with a win easily and get ahead. That feels like that would be the most important part of the situation and should not be all that easy to get greater. I get that it is not going to be all that confusing, but it feels as if we are talking about something that would be a lot major. I hope to see something changing eventually, but if we are keeping this situation going then we need to really provide some big betting.
I will bet on Arsenal to win, doesn't mean that I will bet them to go to next stage, but I will just bet on them to win the 90 minutes which is very likely. To be fair, it is also very likely that they will go to quarter finals too.
