Barcelona vs FC Porto Predictions

• Barca have conceded in five of their last six games
• Both teams have scored in Porto’s two trips in this competition
• The hosts have the third-highest Expected Goals from open play in this season’s Champions League

Wobble for Barca

Barcelona are going through a wobble at the wrong time, just as their Champions League qualification looked in the bag. Their loss at Shakhtar in the last round of games has left them with just a three-point cushion as they bid for a top-two finish and visitors Porto will make life hard for them on Tuesday.

Barca drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano at the weekend and they have kept one clean sheet across their last six matches. The Catalans meet a Porto side who have scored at least twice in six of their last seven and the Portuguese outfit have won their last four on the road, while winning both away games in this group despite conceding.

However, only Manchester City (13.3) and Bayern Munich (8.9) have a higher xG from open play than Barcelona (7.7) in the group stage of the Champions League this term. The hosts can get forward and grab a goal, so both teams to score is the standout bet here.
