Tipster’s Angle

The previous head-to-head match ended in a stalemate in Madrid, and also it is even stevens in the past few head-to-head matches as well as most of the matches ended in a draw. Apart from that, this is expected to be a low-scoring thriller.

Tip: Draw @ 3.36

In the Champions League, Porto has drawn two matches out of the five that they have played, while Atletico Madrid has drawn one match, which was against Porto. In the last seven head-to-head matches played in the Champions League, three matches ended in a draw, while Porto ended up winning two and Atletico Madrid won two matches. The reverse fixture of this tie also ended in a draw. Apart from that, both the teams have two wins and a loss in the last three matches across competitions. So, it is very likely that a point will be shared between the two sides at 3.36 odds available at the Melbet sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.70

In the last seven head-to-head meetings, a total of 14 goals have been scored, with an average of just two goals per match. Under 2.5 goals were also scored in four of those matches. Three of Atletico Madrid’s previous six matches in all competitions have ended with under 2.5 goals. In three of Porto’s last ten matches in all competitions, under 2.5 goals were scored. Despite their recent success against under 2.5 goals, Porto has only scored three goals in the Champions League, compared to Madrid’s four. As a result, under 2.5 goals could be a feature of this encounter at 1.70 odds from the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

The loser of this match is going out of the competition for sure, but the winner has to wait for the result of the Milan against Liverpool match. Porto has a slight advantage as they are one point ahead and give a Liverpool win, a draw would be enough for them.
