Atletico Madrid vs FC Porto Predictions

• Atleti have scored in three of their four matches this season
• Porto are on a run of netting in nine successive outings
• Both teams netted when these two sides last met in December

Can Atleti start strongly?

It’s been a mixed start to the season for Atletico Madrid, who have won just two of their opening four matches after drawing 1-1 at Real Sociedad over the weekend.

Diego Simeone’s side have netted in all bar one of their matches though, a 2-0 defeat at home to Villarreal, while also keeping clean sheets in just two of their last six competitive outings.

They have also only kept three clean sheets in their last nine home Champions League games, with both teams scoring on four occasions.

Porto on a roll

Porto meanwhile are enjoying a much better start to their campaign, picking up with five wins from six matches in all competitions and netting an impressive 14 goals in the process.

Sérgio Conceição’s side have only failed to score in one of their outings so far, while both teams netted in two of their last five.

Their are certainly concerns about the Portuguese side on the road in this competition though, given they have won just one of their last six, half of which saw both teams net.

I predict that both teams will score in this game but I think Atleti will start brightly, with 2-1 to the hosts my correct score prediction.
