I think Arsenal will win in Porto, (never mind with the second leg being at home) and go through comfortably, so I'd leave it for the time being and hedge after the tie is over.

As an aside, got some decent odds Liverpool to win the Europa League a while ago. £30@10.0 on Sky Bet & £10 e/w bet. Waiting for their odds to hit 5.7 to lay off for the £50 so I have a free bet on the e/w

I would hold, its a free bet and I would never go against my own team.

I have no allegiance to anyone and would hate to see that money go to waste so would hedge that green

Well, historical facts say that FCP was always a hard time against Arsenal.
Last Champions lost 4-0 and won 2-0 at home but in a stage that Arsenal already was qualified.
Before that FCP lost and draw with Arsenal.

So only a win in the last maches.
Porto has the same coach, but lost 2 fundamental players (Lucho, Lisandro) but the system is the same and they bougth a very good player in the winter market that already has proven that he fits the team.
I think FCP will play exactly the same way it played against Chelsea in this year, in a defensive manner overcrowding the midfield.

Saying all this I think Arsenal will go forward but it migth be a good option to make some profit, maybe 40% JIC.

.....good for you. So that means you wouldnt bet on another team winning, cos thats the same thing right?
Nothing wrong with being prudent, I would bet against England til the cows come home (if the price is good) & I am an avid English supporter - & it doesnt mean I am not a 'proper' fan, just means i think they are overpriced.

Porto also bought decent ACM in Jan.....Micael, but lets face it, creativity & flare is not whats required to beat Arsenal at present, just good organisation, some steel & a couple of deadly strikes. And Falcao is gd enough to score against Arse, I wouldnt say Arse are riding high with confidence at the moment - despite an edgy win against Liverpool.

I would take some of the green.

To be honest i dont know anything about Porto, but is'nt there a few empty seats on the Arsenal plane to Portugal?

No Arshavin, Van Persie or Eduardo, this and the performance against Liverpool last week dont fill me with much confidence.

I would maybe lay Arsenal in the "To Qualify" market @ 1.5 and see what i could do with that over the 2 legs.

So what's the best way of going from here guys?
