Arsenal vs FC Porto Betting Prediction
FC Porto’s defense was good in the first game, and it’s going to be good again here. Now, ultimately Arsenal may end up scoring the goal to tie it up, and they might even add a second, but they aren’t going to score more than that here. FC Porto also won’t be getting on the board, and that will be the difference here, as this game is going to end up the total. Back the under to cash.
