Arsenal have to get over a goal deficit when they face Porto to Emirates Stadium in Champions League clash on Tuesday night. The Gunners lost 2-1 at Estadio do Dragao in the first leg of their last-16 UEFA Champions League clash.
The score could have been much higher as both teams had chances to increase their total three weeks ago.
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger was quite angry following Porto's debatable goal after a quick free-kick when goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski had handled Sol Campbell's backpass.
Unfortunately, the history is against Arsenal, as they not overturned a first-leg shortage in European competition since their UEFA Cup clash against Hajduk Split in 1978, having gone out of the Champions League to Bayern Munich (2004/05), PSV Eindhoven (2006/07) and Manchester United after losing away.
From other hand, Porto have lost all six of their visits to London - including a 1-0 loss at Chelsea in this season's group stage - and went down 4-0 to the Gunners during September 2008.
Verdict: Arsenal vs FC Porto 2-1
