Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be the existence of a few goals. In this match it’s foreseeable that FC Porto will dominate and enjoy the best scoring opportunities, not only for playing at home, but for needing to win the three points. On the other hand, Leicester is already cleared for the next stage and also has a negative offensive performance. So, we believe that a bet in favor of a balanced match and with few goals has great value.

Preview
Porto and Leicester City face at Estádio Do Dragão, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (Group Stage). Leicester City registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Porto

After 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, the home team is currently in the 2nd position, with 8 points won. In the last match, they have tied (0‑0) in an away match against København, after in the previous round they have won (1‑0) at home against Club Brugge. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 7 conceded; against 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got a home win against Sporting Braga by (1‑0). In the last 10 home matches Porto has won 6 and tied 4. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition.

FC Porto comes for this match after a 1-0 home win against Braga, putting an end to the five consecutive matches without a win: Rui Pedro scored the only goal of the match. To continue on the Champions League, FC Porto have to beat Leicester, but they can draw or lose if Copenhagen doesn’t win Club Brugge. In this decisive match, the coach Nuno Espirito Santo should keep the team in the usual 4-4-2 with André Silva and Diogo Jota being the most offensive references: the first player is FC Porto's top scorer with 7 goals and 2 assists. Apparently the coach won’t count on Otávio due to injury.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Casillas, Ivan Marcano, Felipe, Maxi Pereira, Alex Telles, Óliver Torres, Danilo Pereira, Diogo Jota, Yacine Brahimi, Jesús Corona, André Silva.
Coach: S. Marceneiro Conceição.

Analysis Leicester

The away team is currently in the 1st position, with 13 points won, after 4 wins and 1 draw. In the penultimate round, they have tied an away match against København by (0‑0). In the last round, they have won a home match against Club Brugge by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away loss against Sunderland by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Leicester City has won 1, tied 2 and lost 7. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 5 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 13 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 5 of their 12 goals between minutes (46'‑60'); they have conceded 10 of their 27 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

The current English champion comes for this match after a 2-1 defeat at Sunderland ground, recording their second consecutive match without winning in official matches: Okazaki scored the only goal of the team. Unlike the opponent, Leicester have already secured access to the next stage of the Champions League. In this away home match, the Italian coach Claudio Ranieri must line up in 4-4-2, benefiting the defensive organization and long balls for the forward Islam Slimani: this player is one of the best scorers on the team with 4 goals scored. For this match the visiting team’s coach won’t count on Kasper Schmeichel and Leonardo Ulloa, both injured.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Hamer, Marcin Wasilewski, Luis Hernández, Ben Chilwell, Wes Morgan, Jeffrey Schlupp, Danny Drinkwater, Nampalys Mendy, Demarai Gray, Ahmed Musa, Shinji Okazaki.
