Game Prediction
The Champions League returned after a long break in February. Still, the entire list of quarter-finalists will be finally determined only next week. We’ll find out the next couple of names on Tuesday. Arsenal intends to be among the lucky ones, but to do this it needs to beat Porto, and preferably not minimally. The experts of the website have posted a prediction for this match on March 12, 2024.
Arsenal has made the state of things difficult
“The Gunners” have long been on the side-lines in English football. Even being under the leadership of Arteta, there were plenty of failures; just remember the disastrous outcome of the fight for 4th place in the spring of 2022. Nevertheless, they managed to finish in 2nd position in the previous cycle, and this time Odegaard and the company, strengthened by a number of newcomers led by Rice, needed to show that they were able to remain at the achieved level. Generally speaking, the plan works out and “the Red and Whites” are in the top 3 in the Premier League. As for the Champions League, the team, having finally returned there, won the group stage. Still, the game in Portugal was characterized by a pragmatic desire to play a 0-0 draw – and the club did not have enough power to the final whistle.
Porto will try to save the season
“The Dragons” are out of their traditional schedule. They lost the Primeira title to Benfica in 2023, but everyone is already accustomed to the fact that this team achieves success at the home arena in “even-numbered” cycle. Still, now not only “the Eagles” are still higher there, but Sporting too. All that remains is to fight for the cup trophy, where the opponent will be one of Lisbon giants. And the club can perform in the Champions League. There, Sergio Conceição’s wards showed nothing against Barcelona at the group stage, but, at the same time, they demonstrated 100% results not only in the confrontation against debuting Antwerp, but also in the games against ambitious Shakhtar. And the team didn’t put up with the British opponent either, eventually achieving the goal thanks to Galeno’s cool strike.
