FC Porto will look to upset the odds when they face Arsenal in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Tuesday.
Sergio Conceicao’s side lead 1-0 from the first leg in Portugal on 21st February, denying the current Premier League leaders a single shot on goal in the game.
Porto warmed up for the rematch with a 3-0 win at relegation strugglers Portimonense on Friday, with their Brazilian forward Galeno – who got the winner against the Gunners – on form again with a goal and an assist.
Iranian international Mehdi Taremi is reportedly available for Porto after missing the first leg and Brazilian defender Wendell has recovered from a leg injury.
However, the outlook isn’t entirely positive for the ‘Dragoes’ (Dragons) – Porto have never won away against an English club. They have drawn three times and lost on no fewer than 18 occasions in the past.
