In their first Champions League knockout match since 2017, Arsenal failed to register a single shot on target.
However, Bettingexpert’s supercomputer BETSiE has still predicted Mikel Arteta’s side will advance to the last eight.
Arsenal have been given a 54.07 per cent chance of overturning their first leg deficit and progressing next month.
Meanwhile, they also have a 16.88 per cent probability of making it to the final at Wembley Stadium on June 1.
The supercomputer has even given the Gunners an 8.33 per cent chance of winning the Champions League this season.
Opponents Porto, however, have only been handed a 2.02 per cent chance despite their first leg victory.
Ahead of Arsenal, treble winners Manchester City are the favourites to retain their crown, according to the supercomputer.
Following a 3-1 first leg win over Copenhagen, City have a 33.74 per cent chance of successfully defending the Champions League.

Behind them, Real Madrid and Inter Milan have 16.72 per cent and 12.01 per cent chances, respectively.
Both sides lead their ties following the first legs over the last two weeks.
Arsenal have work to do, though, after defeat on their return to the Champions League knockout stages.
The Gunners have not progressed beyond the last 16 since 2010, when they also faced Porto home and away.
Victory in the second leg at the Emirates Stadium on March 12 is now required to avoid another last 16 exit.
