The Premier League champion, Leicester, already assured the first place in this group, which means that they will only play for money and pride on this game. On the other side, Porto can’t afford a negative result otherwise, they won’t make it into the next stage.
Stay with us and get the best betting lines from top green listed bookmakers to approach this clash.
Leicester travels to Porto after a game on the road against Sunderland and before hosting Manchester City at King Power Stadium. Since the team already reached their goal on this UEFA Champions League group stage, Claudio Ranieri should spare some key players on this game against Porto.
With 13 points in five games and only one goal conceded, Leicester showed their determination and motivation to play this competition, which is also one of the main reasons for their poor results in the Premier League.
Porto is not going through a great moment but they are still a very dangerous team in Europe and the bookmakers are well aware of that. Porto needs to win this game in order to qualify, currently hold a price extremely low at 1.37. Even though Leicester should change their starting line-up, they are still a very competitive team. Besides this, the money involved and their pride are two very important things to keep in mind.
Even though Porto won their last game against Braga, the team keeps struggling to score goals with only 1 goal scored in their last 5 games. That said, Leicester +1.5 Asian Handicap at 1.90 Pinnacle is a very good line that rewards you with 80% profit. Porto might even win this game but it won’t be easy with Ranieri presenting a very dangerous team with quick players as Musa in the attack. Adding to this, Islam Slimani has a terrific record against Porto and it’s hard to find a game where Slimani failed to score against this opponent.
Porto to win & Under 3.5 goals at 1.90 is also another interesting approach for this game but the true value lies on Leicester’s handicap due to their offensive quality.
Taking a quick look to the goals market, the line that presents higher value is the Under 2.75 goals. However, we’ll skip this market since we’re already involved in the winners market with the best bet for this clash.
