PREDICTION
The last time Arsenal reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League was in 2011. To advance to that stage, they had to deliver a resounding victory against Porto at home in the Round of 16 after losing the first leg at the Dragao. Arsenal will be hoping for a similar outcome this time around, although Sergio Conceicao and Porto are expected to put up a strong defensive display. While Arsenal are favoured to win, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bet on a narrow victory with fewer goals, possibly leading to extra-time.
