With a home record like this Porto are rightly favourites for this fixture, they finished second in their group to PSG but they won all 3 home games. Malaga finished top of their group and were unbeaten away from home with 1 win and 2 draws.

Malaga themselves are on the back of a decent run in LaLiga with only 2 defeats in their last 9, both coming against Barcelona.

Porto have a goal scorer in red hot form in the Columbian Jackson Martinez, he has 8 goals in his last 5 games and anytime scorer odds of 29/20 with BetVictor seems a great bet.

Malaga will be hoping their star man Isco can continue his goal scoring form, he has 4 in 4 and Ladbrokes are offering a very generous 5/1 that he can score anytime for the Spanish club, bearing in mind he takes the penalties in which Malaga have had 2 in their last 3 games makes this seem even more appealing.

In conclusion, with Porto’s home record it’s hard to look past a home win. It should be tight and I fully expect Martinez to get on the score sheet if selected.
