2.49Tip and bets
Porto have looked very solid lately and will certainly be looking to get their first win in the Europa League today and move up to the top eight. Overall, the task is quite feasible for the Dragons – Hoffenheim is unstable, makes a lot of mistakes in defense, and has not won a single away game this season in any tournament.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) on Porto . This bet is offered with odds of 1.85
Bet on total
Porto always plays at home from a position of strength and boldly in attack - just recently the "dragons" scored three goals against Manchester United, and Bodo/Glimt scored two goals. It is unlikely that Hoffenheim has a chance to play reliably in defense, the visitors are unlikely to remain without conceding goals. However, the "village" plays attacking football and scores a lot - the match will certainly be productive.
Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.81
Bet on corners
Porto are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Porto. This bet is offered for 1.79
