Arsenal vs Porto Bet Builder Tips: 40/1 poke for Tuesday's second leg

Trailing by a goal from the bumpy first leg in Portugal, current Premier League leaders Arsenal must beat Porto by two goals on Tuesday night if they are to keep their Champions League dreams alive.

In addition to our dedicated match preview for the game which you can find here, we've taken a swing at a 40/1 bet builder using BoyleSports' handy feature.

Despite everybody's expectation that Kai Havertz would assume the No.8 role in this season's Arsenal team, Declan Rice has taken on that mantle and has passed the test with flying colours so far. The 25-year-old has equipped himself with another dangerous element to his game in goal contributions, having a large hand in Arsenal's current position as Premier League leaders with six goals and five assists.

In relation to this bet, Rice has managing five shots on target in his last three league matches, hitting this line in four of his last five PL outings. Although we're talking about a slightly different set of circumstances on the European stage compared to domestically, the pre-match scoreline and Rice's own transformation into an attacking force promises he'll be keen to let fly on the Porto goal at the Emirates later.

For the opposition, winger Wenderson Galeno is undoubtedly the largest threat. The Brazilian proved the difference in Portugal during this pair's first leg, cutting inside and curling a beautiful effort past David Raya in the 94th minute.

Galeno boasts the most shots (15), most shots on target (10) and most goals (5) of any player from either side in this season's competition, showcasing exactly how present he's been in Porto's fortunes. Carrying three goals in his last two UCL appearances and five strikes in his last five across all competitions, this tie seems poised for Porto to at the very least etch themselves onto the scoresheet.

Porto put on a defensive mastery in the first leg to shut out Arsenal and veteran defender Pepe was integral to that achievement. The three-time winner and tournament's oldest ever player knows all of the tricks of the trade and will be pulling from his wealth of experience to carry his team over the line this evening.

That being said, his 41-year-old body can only stand up to so much pressure, so a full-on Arsenal assault could see him release the brakes and add to his long list of hot-headed moments. Pepe has amassed 17 career red cards and a further 212 yellows to boot across his illustrious-yet-controversial career. He is also the competition's fifth-most booked player with 29 yellows - 17 of which have come in away matches.
