Bets FC Porto vs Atlético de Madrid

Betting analysis between FC Porto and Atlético de Madrid

Atletico may still be reeling from their late penalty miss last week to knock them out of this year’s Champions League contention, but they can’t allow their desperation to play too much of a factor here, either that another loss could see them out of the competition. unstable position in the Europa League as well.

Just one point separates Atletico Madrid from Bayer Leverkusen in third place in the table, while a win for FC Porto in this game, and anything but a win for Club Brugges in the other game, would see the Portuguese team finished first.

Atlético Madrid have dominated the last few meetings against FC Porto, winning four of their last five with a draw as well, including two wins in their last two meetings in Portugal.

Diego Simeone is nearing the exit

This result against Bayer Leverkusen last week not only doomed Atlético’s chances of progression in this competition, as well as cutting them off from a massive income stream, Atlético also fell into another bad defeat at the weekend against relegation-fighting Cadiz.

This puts monumental pressure on Diego Simeone’s position at the club ahead of this clash, with calls for him to be sacked from fans and supporters growing. However, the Argentine coach remains defiant and insists his contract runs until 2024 and will guide Atlético through the troubled waters they are currently in.

However, a win here on Tuesday will be absolutely paramount to those plans if they are to survive their current position.

The revenge of the Spanish rivals has been stimulated in Porto

The day’s final group stage clash against Atlético Madrid is something Porto are all too familiar with after being knocked out by their Spanish rivals in last year’s competition.

Porto sat a point ahead of Atlético heading into the final matchday at the Estadio do Drago, but it mattered little as the Spanish giants cruised to victory, with Atlético scoring three goals in what was a crazy end to the match (three goals in total stoppage time), to leave the Portuguese team out of the competition in front of their own fans.

While we’ll likely miss that same drama this year, with Porto players actively celebrating after Yannick Carrasco’s penalty miss for Atlético last week, there’s definitely no love lost between these two historic rivals in the European stage.

Prediction FC Porto – Atlético de Madrid

Despite their early exit from this year’s competition, however, we fancy Atlético to bounce back in this spot and claim victory and cover on Tuesday night against FC Porto in Portugal.

Porto have been lucky so far in this group stage, with Atlético enjoying a goal xGD/90 over Porto so far in the group stage, but have failed to show that statistical dominance in actual results.

Atlético have also posted much stronger offensive xG and defensive xGA numbers this campaign too, with Porto particularly poor at home this season, having been beaten 4-0 by Club Brugges at the Estadio do Drago earlier campaign and has been very lucky. with a win against Bayer Leverkusen as well, a game where they lost the xG battle a lot.

Take Atletico Madrid to PK on Tuesday to win and cover on the road against FC Porto in the Champions League.

Prediction: Atlético de Madrid Moneyline +192
