MAN CITY VS FC PORTO PREDICTION

Man City will still be stung by their quarter-final defeat by Lyon in last season’s competition and this remains the one that Guardiola would love to crack at the club. They are not helped by some key absentees for this opening game but they still have plenty of quality to choose from against Porto. The visitors had some excellent wins to start their season but they have stuttered a little domestically dropping points in their last two matches. The goals are flowing however so they should be able to exploit this fragile City defence and the goals markets of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals are the favoured plays here.
