Arsenal Still Backed To Progress Despite Porto Defeat
Errors from Sol Campbell and Lukasz Fabianski put Arsenal on the back foot in their Champions League last 16 tie with Porto, with the Gunners going down to a 2-1 defeat in Portugal, but the bookies are still backing Arsenal to go through to the next round, pricing the North Londoners at 11/17 to win the second leg.
Despite the defeat, a crucial away goal from Campbell has kept Arsenal very much in the tie and early prices have put the 2006 finalists at 18/19 to qualify for the quarter finals by any means and 11/17 best price with Bwin to win the second leg at the Emirates within the 90 minutes.
Arsenal have however drifted in price to win the Champions League outright, with Coral dropping them from 12s to a best price of 14/1, level with Inter Milan and Bayern Munich.
Coral are also 3/1 that Arsenal will progress the furthest of all the British teams in the competition, with Manchester United at even money and Chelsea, still to play their last 16 first leg with Inter Milan, at 7/4.
