LiontipsPorto vs Liverpool. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Champions League (September 28, 2021).
Command Analysis
Porto are the runner-ups of the 2020/2021 season of Primeira Liga. For their first Champions League match, the Dragons travelled to Madrid, where they recorded a goalless draw with Atletico. The game was hardly exciting as the opponents took only 3 shots on target.
Porto are unbeaten in the new season of Primeira Liga. Sergio Conceição's men won 5 games out of 7 and have earned 17 points. The Dragons are currently 2nd, losing 4 points to Benfica. In the last two rounds, the hosts defeated Moreirense (5:0) and Gil Vicente (2:1). On average Porto score more than two goals per game.
Marchesin and Pepe are both unavailable due to injuries. Mbemba received a red card against Atletico Madrid and is suspended.
Last season Liverpool failed to defend the title of the Premier League champions and finished 3rd. The Reds played their first Champions League game at home against AC Milan. This was an exciting match with multiple attacks and scoring chances. Together the teams took 30 shots on target and scored 5 goals. The Reds were losing 1:2, but in the second half, Salah and Henderson turned the game around.
Jurgen Klopp's charges top the Premier League standings after the six rounds. Liverpool won 4 games and 2 matches ended in a draw. In the last round, for instance, Liverpool drew with Brentford (3:3).
Alcantara, Elliot, Minamino, Williams, and Firminohave been ruled out of this game.
