FC Porto vs. Arsenal Predictions & Strategies

This game is anticipated to be won by Arsenal 3-1 over Porto.

Arteta’s Attacking Squad

In the first leg, Arsenal lost surprisingly to Porto, who won thanks to a late goal from Wenderson Galeno. But there’s still plenty of time to make things right. Recently, Arteta’s men have been outstanding, with the exception of the first leg. As a result, our first Arsenal vs. Porto prediction is that the home team will score three goals or more to avenge their lone defeat since January 7.

This calendar year, the Gunners have been playing well. Through ten games in all competitions, they have averaged 3.3 goals scored. Three out of the four games Arteta’s team has played at the Emirates have seen three goals or more scored. Anticipate a classic exhibition of aggressive football, as they know they need at least two to save the game from going into extra time.

They may have appeared toothless in the first leg, but they will be anxious to put things right as soon as possible.

In five of Arsenal’s previous six games across all competitions, there have been two goals or more in the opening half. In four of those contests, Aterta’s team has scored two goals or more in the first half. This season, the Gunners have been averaging three goals in the first half of each home Champions League match.

Porto Refuses to Fold

This season, Arsenal has the best defensive record in all of England. By a wide margin, their xGA in 2024 is the lowest in the Premier League. But in their last home games, their rivals have managed to score goals.

In Bet9ja’s GG market, we are supporting both teams to score again at odds of 2.22. In the last three Arsenal games at the Emirates, the bet has been winning.

Despite being the obvious underdogs, Porto can still be a threat. This season, they have scored 1.85 goals per away game on average. With an average of 2.67 goals per game, Sergio Conceicao’s team has also scored in all three of their away Champions League games.

Havertz Has the Solutions

The game-winning goal in Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Brentford came from Kai Havertz. The former Chelsea player’s new team didn’t get off to a great start. However, he has demonstrated his worth with his adaptability, giving Arteta a great deal of tactical leeway.

In his most recent games, Havertz has been used as the team’s starting striker. In midfield, he can also drop deep and have an impact on the game. In four of his past five games, Kai has found the net, demonstrating his success in this role. Therefore, the German to score is our final Arsenal vs. Porto prediction, with odds of 2.85 with Bet9ja.

Bet 4: Havertz to score @ 2.85
