Malaga are seeking to overturn a 1 goal deficit this Wednesday to continue their maiden run in the Champions League, but face very stern opposition in Porto.

The bookies are struggling to call this tie, with both sides being offered at 9/5 to win the tie, Porto with Ladbrokes, Malaga with Betfred. The draw is best priced at 12/5 with Bet Victor.

Although the bookies can’t pick between these two sides, it is hard to see anything but a Porto win. They are scoring for fun, defensively sound and have the advantage in this tie. They have scored 51 goals in 22 league ties this season, and have found the net 8 times in their last 6. In the same stretch of games, they have only conceded 2. Porto will also be welcoming European eye-catcher Joao Moutinho back to their side for this tie, and his ball retention skills (he is averaging 87.6% pass completion in Europe this season) will be key in a tie where they will look to frustrate a misfiring Malaga.

One of the main observations from the first tie was Malaga’s lack of goal threat, and this has been a common trait within the Spanish side of late. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 outings and against a Porto side who have strength in defence and in Moutinho a player more than capable of keeping the Malaga top scorer midfielder Isco quiet it looks very likely they won’t score again.
