Porto however have been in good form recently and after knocking Juventus out, they will look to cause another upset.
Chelsea vs Porto Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Porto have been in good attacking form and have scored 2 goals in 10 of their last 12 matches. In the first leg too, they had pretty good chances but an excellent performance from Mendy kept them at bay. Chelsea too have only kept only once clean sheet in their last 3 matches and scored 12 in their last 5 games. Thus betting on the combination of both teams to score and the match to have more than 2.5 goals at odds of 2.37 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Both teams have been earning an average of more than 5 corners this season and we expect the same in this second leg. Thus betting on the game to have more than 9.5 corners at odds of 1.85 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Mehdi Taremi, Porto’s striker, has been their top player this season with 10 goals and 6 assists in the league. He was injured for the first leg but is now back and thus betting on him to score a goal at odds of 3.75 (betway) is a really good bet to make.
Quick Rich
Sergio Oliviera has been the highest scorer for FC Porto this season and 7 out of his 13 league goals and 3 out of his 5 champions league goals have come from a penalty. We expect the back 3 of Chelsea to concede a penalty and thus betting on Porto to score a penalty at odds of 8.00 (bet 365) can give high returns at minimal risk.
Betting on the scoreline is always a good way to earn big. This will be a very attacking match and we expect the scoreline to end at 2-2 at odds of 15.00 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea are now only lost 1 and won 13 out of their last 18 games. However , Porto have been in top form and are now unbeaten in their last 20 league games . They missed a few important players in the first leg who are now all back and we expect them to give a very tough fight to Chelsea. We expect the match to end as a draw at odds of 3.75. (betway)
Bet During the Match
Marcos Alonso had a great match against West Brom despite the team not doing so well. However he has not started the last 2 matches and if he starts this match which we expect him to, betting on him to get an assist at odds of 5.50 (betway) can be a good bet to make during the match.
