“Guardiola’s home games at this festival in The City have noticed that BTTS lands on 12 of 19Array. The city still has enough in its record, however, Porto’s positive technique may make them put their names on the ever-longest list of groups to score. Etihad. “

Back to Man City to win and score with 8/52. 6

Defensive considerations in the City

“We’re still a little far from our performance,” Pep Guardiola said after Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Arsenal.

All good.

What I’m not so sure about his verdict is that we “defend very well. “

Arsenal created smart opportunities and deserves to have taken anything out of the game. They probably would have done well if a superior boot had been punished in Kyle Walker’s penalty domain.

Guardiola chose to congratulate the new Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake after their first combined match in defence, once back the manager chose to fine-tune his squad in the absence of Aymeric Laporte, coming out with a side and betting on Joao Cancelo in the middle of the field. .

Laporte, his defensive colleague Benjamin Mendy and midfielder Kevin de Bruyne watch in a position to fail here, while striker Gabriel Jesus remains absent for a long time.

At least Sergio Aguero returned this weekend, betting for the first time in 4 months, with City now on a hectic two-game-a-week schedule, one that includes games with West Ham and Marseille in six days of competition, it would not be unexpected to see the Argentine alone on the bench here.

Injuries have allowed City, despite his vast resources, to go through a difficult start to the season, which saw them lose 5-2 at home to Leicester and lose trouble at Leeds.

They will have to avoid mistakes so early in the Champions League, they were defeated 2-1 at Etihad in their first match two seasons ago through Lyon, the same team that eliminated them in the quarter-finals in August.

Viors not yet

Like Lyon, Porto will be able to verify, do not expect the two-time Portuguese winners to start just to contain.

Boss Sergio Conceicao, a winger for Inter Milan and Lazio at the time, has an attacking philosophy and his looks have been the most sensible scorer in the Primeira Liga in two of his 3 seasons at the helm.

The challenge is: does he have the to do the job?

Alex Telles (Man Utd), emerging star Fabio Silva (Wolves), Danilo Pereira (PSG) and last season’s sensible goalscorer Tiquinho (Tianjin TEDA in China) are among those who have left the club in recent weeks.

Conceicao knows that promoting skill is a component of the task at Dragao Stadium and has recruited replacements, including West Ham lender Felipe Anderson, but admitted after Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Sporting Lisbon that his new recruits were “fully integrated, explaining why he had relied on them for the starting points.

The tie came after a 3–2 home defeat to Marítimo, so after 4 games of the defense of his name, Porto followed his great rival, Benfica, in five points.

They continue to offer a long-term risk: Moussa Morega is a damaging leader of a well-served attack through Sergio Oliveira and Jesús Corona, but defensively they have conceded too much in the absence of a long-term down drop, Ivan Marcano. .

Eye up BTTS

This is helping to show the way to my bet.

Both have scored in 3 of Porto’s four games this season and at the end of last season, it has now happened in six of their last seven games.

The BTTS angle also stands out in the old statistics, with 21 of Porto’s 28 European matches, Conceicao, which won this bet.

For the City, its last seven in Europe have noticed that both sides fund the network (these organizations have included Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar Donetsk). Returning further, Guardiola’s home games at this festival in City saw BTTS land 12 out of 19. stage, it’s a decent seven out of 12.

City lost a blank sheet on Saturday, alone, but four of their other five games this season have noticed that both groups score, and it seems their defense is far from airtight, as was the case last season. a big loser.

The two groups that score can be supported here on 8/111. 73, more than 2. 5 goals, which is their same short value in a City game: 2/51. 4 this time.

Increase the city to 2. 6

Given his long injury and defensive problems, I also cannot win the match with City at short cost (1/31. 32) or in other markets such as handicaps or goals.

In fact, a case can be placed next to Porto in one way or another. They’re 10. 5 so surprising, but their troubled defensive record is a top fear for potential donors.

By contrast, the most productive price turns out to be for the City to win with any of the groups scoring 8/52. 6.

With Raheem Sterling, Aguero, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva available, the City still has enough in their wallet to claim the points, but Porto’s positive technique may make them put their names on the ever-longest list of groups to score in the Etihad.

Made of opta

This will be Porto’s 21st away match against the English warplanes in European competition, while they are still for their first victory of its kind (D3 L17).
