Prediction: 3-0
Porto
After surviving Brentford in the Premier League round 28, Arsenal will look to overcome a one-goal deficit in the Champions League tie with Porto when the two teams face each other at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Gunners look unstoppable at the moment and seeing that Mikel Arteta can count on key players for the return leg, home win must be considered. Gabriel Martinelli is a major doubt as well as Takehiro Tomiyasu, while Gabriel Jesus is pushing for a start.
The Dragons, on the other hand, defeated Arsenal at Estadio do Dragao thanks to Galeno’s late goal, but they will have a mountain to climb in the reverse fixture as Arsenal are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Given the Gunners’ excellent form in the Premier League, we predict that the visitors will return home with their hands empty. All Mehdi Taremi, Ivan Marcano, and Zaidu are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Toni Martinez):
Born in Barrio del Progreso, Spain, on June 30, 1997, Toni Martinez is a forward who plays for Primeira Liga side Famalicao. Martinez is a product of Real Murcia football school, but in 2013 he moved to Valencia youth academy.
After scoring two goals in 16 appearances for Valencia B, the Spaniard signed a deal with West Ham United in April 2016 for a fee of around £2.4 million. However, he did not see any game action in the Premier League with the Hammers as he was immediately sent on loan to Oxford United.
Toni Martinez played for the likes of Real Valladolid, Rayo Majadahonda, and Lugo on loan as well before signing a three-year deal with Famalicao in the summer of 2019. He made his debut with the Azuis e Brancos on August 3, 2019, in a 2-0 home defeat to Covilha in the Taca da Portugal. Toni Martinez has two caps with the Spain U19 team.
Highlighted Team (Arsenal):
Arsenal are regarded as one of the best English teams. The Gunners have won 12 FA Cup trophies, 13 league titles and two League Cups, but they have yet to lift the Champions League trophy. Arsene Wenger’s team were on the verge of beating Barcelona in the Champions League final back in 2006, but they eventually failed to win the prestigious title.
Arsenal used to play their homes at Highbury, but in 2006 they moved to the Emirates Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 60,260. The Gunners won their last Premier League trophy back in 2004, with the capital club going through the season without a single loss. The likes of Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp and Robert Pires were part of the team back then, but Arsenal have not won the league trophy ever since.
Arsenal was founded by Woolwich munitions workers as Dial Square back in 1886. It is well known that Tottenham Hotspur are Arsenal’s fiercest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals meet in the North London derby.
