It’s important Arsenal do not let Porto take the advantage to the Emirates so this could be a low scoring game. Arsene Wenger will always tell you he never plays for anything but the win but a 1-1 draw at 9/2 is as good as an away win for Arsenal and result that would put The Gunners firmly in the driving seat. Paddy Power make Arsenal 2/5 to make it into the quarter finals and 9/1 to win The Champions League outright, could it be their year? Correct Score Betting13/2      Arsenal 1-013/1      Arsenal 2-09/1        Arsenal 3-035/1      Arsenal 3-125/1      Arsenal 3-2 7/1        0-09/2        1-112/1      2-2 Click here to get a FREE £20 BET With some key players injured Arsenal may opt to pack the midfield and catch Porto on the break. Alex Song will be a miss but in his absence Abou Diaby will take an even bigger role, Diaby has got better and better this season and has shown he is capable of scoring important goals. On Wednesday he is a great price of 10/1 to score the first goal, if Arsenal do score first they’ll tighten up and look to protect that lead. Arsenal’s style of play is ideal for the European competition so expect to see big games from Tomas Rosicky and Samir Nasri too. First Scorer Betting13/2      Bendtner15/2      Fabregas10/1      Walcott10/1      Diaby11/1      Rosicky11/1      Nasri20/1      Vermaelen33/1      Campbell Click here to get a FREE £20 BET
