LiontipsPorto - Manchester City: betting tip (cf 2.12) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Porto had an impressive six-match winning streak with a total score of 12 at the start of the season.:1. In the first official meeting, the dragons won the Portuguese Super Cup, beating the modest Torrins with a minimum score of 1-0. We further developed our success in the Mayor's Office, having scored five consecutive victories. After five rounds in the national championship, Francesco Farioli's team is in first place with 15 points, two points ahead of Sporting.
We haven't had a real test of strength yet. There were noticeably inferior opponents in all the matches. In the last round in the Primeira Liga, the dragons defeated Moreirense 2-1 on home turf. We had to fight back during the game, which Farioli's team confidently managed, scoring 23 shots on goal (nine of them on target).
Traditionally, the home field factor is important for Porto. Last season, the dragons competed in the Europa League, then reached the quarterfinals, where they lost to Nottingham Forest. At the same time, Dragau did not suffer a single defeat during the entire tournament.

Current form
Manchester City is undergoing restructuring. The Guardiola era has passed, and Enzo Maresca was preparing the team for the new season. The townspeople got rid of many veterans, and Rodri left for Barcelona. One of the acquisitions stands out is Enzo Fernandez, whom Maresca worked with at Chelsea. We also mention Ndiaye. Both players have already made their debuts for City.
Enzo Maresca's team failed the opening match of the Super Cup season against Arsenal (0:3). The gunners did not allow anything to be created at their own goal, blocked the approaches to the penalty area. Following in the Premier League, the townspeople had a three-match winning streak, but there were no top opponents in their path, and they confidently and without problems dealt only with Crystal Palace (1-4). We had to fight back against Bournemouth in the first round (2-1), as we lost 0 after the first half.:1. Coventry beat Manchester City on their own field with only a minimum score of 1:0. It is noticeable from the game that the updated squad lacks teamwork. The injuries to Doc and O'Reilly are also affecting.
There are problems in defense. In four matches, the townspeople only scored against Coventry. At the same time, in that meeting, the opponent, playing strictly the second number, scored 12 shots on goal and had several scoring chances that he did not realize.
Disqualifications and injuries
Doc and O'Reilly are in the Manchester City infirmary.

Tip and bets
Porto entered the season with more than confidence, winning all six official matches. Yes, the Dragons didn't have any serious opposition, but the same can be said about Manchester City. Mareski's team lost their only match against a really strong opponent, Arsenal, outright.
Even in winning matches, Manchester City allowed their opponents to do a lot at their own goal, the defense played only Coventry to zero, and even then the opponent had plenty of chances. Obviously, the townspeople are still in the process of rebuilding, there is not enough teamwork. It will be difficult to achieve victory at Dragau only due to the individual skill of the same Holland. Moreover, Porto usually performs powerfully at home, last season the dragons did not suffer a single defeat at their stadium in the Europa League. We believe that there is a reassessment of the possibilities of the renovated Manchester City in the line of bookmakers, which should be used when choosing bets.
Our betting tip is that Porto will not lose by a factor of 2.12
Bet on the total
Since the start of the season, Manchester City have kept their gates locked only in a match against Coventry, who are noticeably inferior in class. At the same time, there are individually strong players in the attack who are able to create and realize the moment alone, the townspeople did not score only Arsenal. Porto has scored goals in all the matches played and it is unlikely that they will not be able to open the opponent's defense at least once on their own field today. We expect that there will be an exchange of goals scored in the upcoming match.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.65
Betting on corners
Porto always strives to play number one in their field. Manchester City is also characterized by a game with an emphasis on attack and possession of the ball. We expect the match to be rich in dangerous moments and corners. Moreover, according to statistics, in six of the eight previous fights with the participation of the dragons, more than nine serves were served from the corner flag.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.90
