FC Porto vs Arsenal Betting Preview
FC Porto currently sit third in the Portuguese league - seven points off leaders Sporting Lisbon - but they have only one winin their last three outings. Sergio Conceiçao's men, who are unlikely to challenge the Lisbon clubs for the title this season, finished second in Group H, level on points with Barcelona and above Shakhtar Donetsk and Royal Antwerp. The Dragoes have endured a rather indifferent 2023/24 thus far but they have a remarkable European record at home. FC Porto have won 12 of their last 17 matches in front of their own supporters in the Champions League.
Arsenal enter this clash on the back of a 5-0 thrashing over Burnley on Saturday. Prior to that, the Gunners hammered London rivals West Ham 6-0. After they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Liverpool, Mikel Arteta's men have won five successive games, notching up an impressive 21 goals in that period and reigniting their Premier League title charge. As to Champions League, the Gunners coasted through qualification to reach the knockout stages of the tournament with a W4 D1 L1 record. Their only defeat came in Matchday 2 at Lens (2-1) back in October.
Best Odds
The top fotball betting sites have installed Arsenal as the odds-on favourites to beat FC Porto on Wednesday. The Gunners are 13/19 to win in Portugal with VBet, while Porto are 19/4 to come away with the victory at BetUK, one of our favourite new bookies around. A draw is priced at 57/20 with 10Bet.
Probable Line-Ups
Porto (4-4-2): Costa; Mario, Pepe, Otavio, Sanchez; Pepe, Varela, Gonzalez, Galeno; Taremi, Evanilson.
Sérgio Conceição looks set to be without Ivan Marcano and Zaidu who are both sidelined with knee problems while midfielder Stephen Eustaquio remains a doubt. Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi is also doubtful with a thigh injury but we expect him to lead the frontline alongside high rated Brazilian striker Evanilson. Elsewhere, Jorge Sanchez should join veteran Portuguese defender Pepe at the back.
Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Odegaard, Rice, Jorginho; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.
Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira are ruled out due to injury as well as Jurrien Timber, who has been included in the Champions League squad despite still recovering from an ACL injury. Gabriel jesus is not 100% fit, meaning that Leandro Trossard will start in the front trio alongside Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. The likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu are also doubts and will make the bench at maximum. At the back, Gabriel Kiwior will retain his berth as left-back.
FC Porto vs Arsenal Betting Tips
Porto are big underdogs as Sthey are struggling in third place in their domestic league but the Portuguese outfit have plenty of European experience.
Sergio Conceiçao's men have won four of their six UCL group-stage games with their only defeats coming by a single goal to Barcelona.
Anyway, Arsenal are firing all cylinders in recent weeks and we expect the Gunners to secure a victory in Portugal.
A 2-1 Arsenal win is our pick in the Correct Score market while Pepe to receive a card is another appealing bet.
