Porto
PSV EindhovenForm guide
Porto top Liga Portugal with a perfect record: eight wins from eight, 20 goals scored and 4 conceded, five points clear of Benfica. Their wins include a 3-1 victory over Benfica. The Champions League has gone less well: they lost 2-0 at home to Manchester City and 3-2 at Real Betis last week, so they need points. They have not played since, so they arrive rested.
PSV are third in the Eredivisie with 19 points from nine games, four behind leaders Feyenoord, and have lost three of their last five. They lost 3-2 at Twente, 1-0 at RB Leipzig in the Champions League and 2-1 at ADO Den Haag at the weekend, so they have lost their last three away games. They have one point from two Champions League games.
Head-to-head
We found no recent meetings between the two clubs.
Team news
PSV's injury list is very long, with eight players reported out, including midfielders Schouten and Wanner and forwards Pepi, Pléa and Lammers. Porto are missing forward William, with two defenders doubtful.
Our prediction and why
We take Porto or draw (1X). Porto are perfect at home in the league and in strong domestic form, while PSV are struggling on the road and badly hit by injuries. Porto's two European defeats are why we cover the draw instead of backing the home win.
Other bets to consider
Over 1.5 goals is our second pick. All six of Porto's competitive games since the start of September had at least two goals, and so did six of PSV's last seven.
