After last night’s thriller at Stamford Bridge, don’t expect similar fireworks at the Estadio do Dragao, we are expecting a cagey affair with each side probing, United will be looking for a way through and Porto waiting for a chance to break. This game and the tie could all hinge on a defensive mistake.
Can Man Utd be the first English club to win at Estadio do Drago?
FC Porto are on a 23 game unbeaten run but most of these games are in an understrength domestic competition so we are choosing not to be swayed by this statistic. More worryingly, Porto are undefeated at home in 12 attempts by English clubs, but they have drawn 7 of these games so we would like to have the draw on our side.
For now, we are suggesting laying Porto at just under 3/1 on Betfair and we are tempted by “under 2.5 goals” at Evens, also on Betfair. There may be an opportunity to trade this price as the game progresses and in such a tight affair, we would suggest that you take the profit and simply enjoy the second half with a profit in your pocket.
As the market develops today, we will be looking for more value for you, so please check back for additional tips. We will also be looking for an angle in an equally tight game between Arsenal and Villareal.
