We can't complain about our luck...⠀⠀

FC Porto x Arsenal

⠀⠀
Largely due to the fact that they are in the round of 16 of the Champions League, FC Porto is the only Portuguese club that does not start as favorite in these European competition qualifiers.⠀
⠀
Sérgio Conceição's FC Porto is always an extremely competitive team, but Arsenal is far superior, both individually and collectively.⠀
⠀
Saliba, Rice, Martinelli, Ødegaard, Saka…it’s a lot of quality!⠀
⠀
Arteta created collective dynamics, based on the freedom of movement given to his players, which make Arsenal one of the best teams today.⠀
⠀
However, there are some weaknesses that can be exploited by FC Porto.⠀
⠀
This Arsenal has some difficulties when it has to “dismantle” low blocks.⠀
⠀
Rice provided more defensive solidity compared to last season, but there are still some defensive gaps in the corridors, especially on the left side (Zinchenko's side).⠀
⠀
It's going to be difficult, favoritism is on Arsenal's side, but the mentality and competitive attitude of Sérgio Conceição's FC Porto are always factors to take into account!⠀
⠀

SC Braga x Qarabag

Very accessible opponent, but one that requires a long and exhausting trip to Azerbaijan.⠀
⠀
It is essential to win with a good margin in the 1st leg, at home, and then manage the team in the 2nd.⠀
⠀

Benfica x Toulouse

Very nice draw for Benfica! ⠀ ⠀
⠀
It's true that they won at home to Liverpool, but Toulouse are in 15th place in Ligue 1, with just 2 wins in 16 rounds.⠀
⠀
Benfica is rising in performance and shouldn't have any major difficulties in eliminating the French. ⠀

Sporting x Young Boys

⠀
Sporting is the favorite.⠀
⠀
It is important not to forget that the Swiss were able to create some problems for Leipzig and Manchester City, especially in home games! ⠀
Furthermore, the fact that Young Boys plays on a synthetic could be problematic.⠀
⠀
Rúben Amorim's team must respect the opponent, but accept favoritism!

Conclusion

⠀
Except FC Porto, Portuguese teams cannot complain about their luck…⠀
⠀
We have good reason to believe that we will have 3 Portuguese clubs in the Europa League's round of 16!⠀
