In my opinion Porto has really good chances to avoid big loss in today's game.

First match between both teams finished with Porto 1:0 win at home and that was excellent performance from Portuguese team. They stayed rock-solid at the back - Arsenal failed to make even one shot on goal. On the other hand, Porto finished with higher expected goals scored value than Arsenal.

Arsenal is under a lot of strain today, and it will definitely not be an easy game for them. It's a young squad. Many players on the team, including coach Arteta, had never played at this stage. Arsenal hope to reach the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time since 2009-10. They have been ousted from the last 16 more times than any other team, including each of their previous seven appearances in the competition.

Porto has a very consistent backline. In the Portuguese league, they conceded only 17 goals in 25 games. Pepe, an experienced center defender, is a wonderful leader there. On the other hand, they have extremely dangerous players in attack who can play from counterattacks. Galeno has eight goals in six Champions League games for Porto this season (five goals, three assists), including the first-leg winner against Arsenal. Porto came into this game in excellent condition, having won a famous league game against Benfica 5:0 and an easy 3:0 road win against Portimonense the previous weekend. Arsenal won 2:1 at home against Brentford over the weekend, but their defensive structure made a foolish error, allowing them to surrender a goal. That might be very costly today.

Obviously, Arsenal is still big fav at home, but I can imagine Porto scoring one goal here and not conceding more than 2. Extra time is possible.

在我看来，波尔图在今天的比赛中有很好的机会避免大的损失。

两队的第一场比赛以波尔图主场1:0获胜结束，这是葡萄牙队的出色表现。他们在后防线上坚如磐石——阿森纳连一脚射门都没有射正。另一方面，波尔图的预期进球数高于阿森纳。

阿森纳今天压力很大，这对他们来说肯定不是一场轻松的比赛。这是一支年轻的球队。包括教练阿尔特塔在内的许多队员从未参加过这个阶段的比赛。阿森纳希望自2009-10赛季以来首次进入欧冠四分之一决赛。在过去的16场比赛中，他们被淘汰的次数比其他任何球队都多，包括他们之前7次参加比赛。

波尔图的后防线非常稳定。在葡萄牙联赛中，他们在25场比赛中只丢了17球。佩佩是一名经验丰富的中后卫，是一名出色的领袖。另一方面，他们在进攻端有非常危险的球员，他们可以通过反击来发挥作用。加莱诺在本赛季为波尔图出战的6场欧冠比赛中打进8球(5球3助攻)，其中包括首回合对阵阿森纳的绝杀。波尔图在这场比赛中状态非常好，他们在联赛中5:0战胜了本菲卡，上个周末客场3:0轻松战胜了波尔蒂莫内塞。阿森纳上周末主场2:1战胜布伦特福德，但他们的防守结构犯了一个愚蠢的错误，让他们丢了一个球。这在今天可能是非常昂贵的。

显然，阿森纳在主场仍然是大热门，但我可以想象波尔图在这里进一球，失球不超过两球。额外的时间是可能的。
