Porto warmed up for the trip to the Emirates Stadium with a convincing 0-3 win away to Portimonense in the Liga Portugal.
The win at Portimonense followed another commanding 5-0 win over Benfica last week as Porto closed the gap to the top to within 7 points of leaders Sporting and six points behind second-placed Benfica.
With a one-goal lead from the first leg, football bet predictions show that Porto will be a difficult proposition for Arsenal to break down.
They will look to be pragmatic and close all the spaces and gaps in their defensive by playing narrow and deep when they do not have the ball and attack on the counter when they win it back. Free football predictions show that this approach will give Arsenal problems.
