14/1 – Liverpool v FC Porto Champions League Bet Builder Tip & Stats

Champions League football returns this midweek, and our focus is on the game at Anfield where Liverpool welcome FC Porto.

We have gone through the stats to pick out a bet builder tip for this match, which kicks-off at 8.00pm.

With Liverpool already qualified for the knockout stages as Group B winners, Jurgen Klopp is likely to rest some of his regular starters and give his fringe players the experience of Champions League football.

The same can’t be said for FC Porto though, as they sit second in the group and just one point above Atletico Madrid whom they face in their final group game. The Portuguese side will be desperate to leave Merseyside with something to show for their efforts, which should make for a fascinating game.

ODDS – 14/1 with Paddy Power.

 

Over 2.5 goals

When these sides met at the Estádio do Dragão in September, Liverpool came away as 5-1 winners thanks to two goals each from Mo Salah, and Firmino, whilst Sadio Mane also got on the scoresheet. Although these players are unlikely to feature at Anfield on Wednesday night, we think the Reds will still want to entertain the home crowd. Porto know they can’t afford to settle for a draw so they should come out attacking, which could make for an open game with goals.

 

Both teams to score

We can see both teams getting on the score sheet. Three of Liverpool’s four UCL games have seen both teams score so far, whilst Porto’s last game away at AC Milan ended in a 1-1 draw. Porto need to come out and attack the Reds so we’re hoping for goals.

 

Takumi Minamino to have 2 or more shots on target

With Liverpool already qualified, Jurgen Klopp might turn to Takumi Minamino to carry the Reds goal threat. When he does get his chance, he often delivers, and we can see him having a couple of shots on target for the hosts.

 

Mehdi Taremi to have 1 or more shots on target

FC Porto’s top scorer this season will want to help his side take one step nearer to securing the Group B runners-up spot and will carry Porto’s main goal threat. We’re backing him to have one or more shots on target on the Liverpool goal.

 

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to have 2 or more shots 

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also likely to be a starter for Jurgen Klopp’s side and he loves to have a shot from distance at any opportunity. He can be wayward though, so we’re playing it slightly safe and backing him to have two or more shots.

A £20 bet with Paddy Power on this Bet Builder would return £290.28
