Porto vs. Manchester City Odds
Game Preview
Porto has opened the campaign superbly, posting nothing but victories. The Dragons have 6 consecutive triumphs, and not just that. Throughout this stretch, the Portuguese champions have allowed only one goal, which was this Friday against Moreirense in a 2-1 triumph.
Their attack is excellent, with three players netting two goals apiece: Andre Silva, Sainz Borja and William Gomes. Meanwhile, Brazilian forward Pepe posted 4 assists. So this quartet is responsible for excellent attacking stats.
City dominated against Coventry, but it won just 1-0. The Citizens kept things under control, yet weren’t that efficient on the offensive end of the field. Man City’s defense showed occasional lapses, allowing the visitors a couple of chances.
Erling Haaland is in his usual mode. The Norwegian scored against Coventry, which was his third goal in his last two matches. He is looking great and is without a doubt City’s main weapon.
Porto vs. Manchester City Head to Head
Manchester and Porto met in the 2020 UCL group stage, when City won at home 3-1, while the second event saw no winners, 0-0.
Porto vs. Manchester City Predictions
Porto is superb, while City is still adapting to Maresca’s playstyle. We will hunt for a surprise here and go with double chance: Porto or tie.
