Red Bull Salzburg vs FC Porto Predictions

• Porto have a perfect record this season with six wins.
• Salzburg are winless in three (D1, L2).
• Porto have only conceded one goal in six games.

In-form Porto can raid Salzburg

Porto have made an exceptional start to the season with six wins in as many games in Portugal’s top tier and they can carry that form into Europe with victory at Salzburg on Thursday.

Porto endured a disappointing Club World Cup campaign but have since impressed under new boss Francesco Farioli.

The Dragões scored 14 goals and conceded just once, against Sporting CP, during their six-game winning start and are facing a Salzburg side who look out of sorts.

The Austrian side have lost their last two games and are winless in three overall, and they were well beaten by Club Brugge in Champions League qualifying as they went down 4-2 on aggregate – losing both legs.

A Porto win is the standout option for our main bet and a routine 2-0 away win is the correct score prediction. Porto’s defence looks rock solid and they can keep Salzburg at bay, and they’ve scored more than once in five of their six games so they should be able to grab a couple of goals on Thursday.

Samu has scored in back-to-back games for the visitors and has four goals in total in five Portuguese league games this season. He stands out as a candidate for an anytime effort on Thursday.
