Arsenal vs Porto prediction 12.03.2024

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: Tuesday, 12th March 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Emirates Stadium (London)

Only four spots remain in the Champions League quarterfinal, with Arsenal and Porto vying for one. Porto secured a 1-0 victory in the first leg, but the impending match in London brings hope for a comeback for Mikel Arteta’s squad.

Arsenal are enjoying one of their most successful seasons in recent decades. They are locked in a fierce battle with Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title, and they are also considered serious contenders for the Champions League trophy under Arteta’s leadership. The team has shown impressive form, winning eight out of the last nine matches. Their only setback was a defeat to Porto in the first leg. Despite facing challenges against Brentford in the previous game, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 2-1 win at home, adding another valuable victory to their tally.

It’s unlikely that Porto will secure another title in the Portuguese league given their current standing four points behind Sporting CP, having already played two more games. However, Porto has been performing well recently, boasting five victories and one draw in their last six matches. They impressively defeated Portimonense 3-0 in their most recent away game. The visitors had an expected goals (xG) tally of 2.16 compared to the home team’s 0.20, underscoring the merit of Porto’s victory.

Arsenal vs Porto pick: Over 2.5 goals

A few weeks ago, these two teams had a game with only one goal. Despite this, both teams are known for their high-scoring games. Since then, Arsenal has scored 12 goals in three matches, while their opponents have scored 11 goals in four games. Betting on over 2.5 goals should be a good wager for this match.
