Arsenal vs. FC Porto Prediction: Can Bukayo Saka Shine in Champions League Match Today?
Today, FC Porto travels to take on Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League. I believe today Bukayo Saka will be hoping to etch his name alongside Karim Benzema to have scored and assisted in four consecutive home Champions League games.

Arsenal vs. FC Porto Prediction
With the Gunners down 1-0 after a stunning strike by Porto, they have their work cut out for themselves to qualify for Champions League Quarterfinals. Not scoring in his last two matches, and pressure mounting on the results of this fixture, I'm backing Bukayo Saka to net one past Porto's keeper.
After Arsenal tailed zero shots at Porto, Mikel Arteta and the squad will have to take the reins from the get go, as they've done in the premier league this season. With Gabriel Martinelli out, the left flank will be used more effectively as he carries the ball a bit too much, Arsenal will continue to penetrate with the beautiful overlaps of Benny White and of course creating space for Bukayo Saka.
On top of Saka being the penalty taker, I love taking a players prop after missing. Lucky for us, Saka's Champions League home statistics this campaign are also favorable. Wile I do think Porto will give it their absolute all, they've yet to win both legs of a champions league knockout in history alongside losing two out of 22 away Champions League matches. If it's anyone's turn to shine today, it will be Bukayo Saka.
