AC Milan vs Porto Recent Form
Two weeks ago after their 1:0 Champions League loss against Porto, AC Milan got into the winning column. In fact, they added three Serie A wins and level on points with Napoli. Bologna (4:2), Torino (1:0), and Roma (2:1) fell one after the other. They hope to transfer the same form into this week’s Champions League fixture as a loss would mean ending their European dream.
FC Porto recorded five wins in their last six games. They only lost to Santa Clara (3:1) as part of their League Cup game. Last week saw them defeat rivals Boavista with 4:1. As far as the Champions League goes they have one loss, one draw, and one win. The loss was particularly devastating (5:1) against Liverpool, but they were able to snatch a point from Atletico Madrid (0:0).
AC Milan vs Porto Recent Matchups
AC Milan and FC Porto shared the field nine times so far. They are actually neck and neck entering their 10th game as both sides have three wins and there were also three draws.
Round 3 of the Champions League saw Porto defeating Milan by 1:0 thanks to a stellar goal from Colombian Luis Diaz. It was an unexpected result that may have spelt the end for the Italian giants.
Prior to that, the two teams faced each other during the 1996/97 Champions League season group stage. The score went in favour of Porto as they got a draw at home (1:1) and went on to secure a victory in Milan (3:2), with Mário Jardel grabbing a brace.
AC Milan vs Porto Stats & Analysis
Milan were very unfortunate to lose both of the two starting games in Group D. They led both against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, but were at the end struck down and had to leave the field with their heads bowed. Everything culminated with a surprising loss at Estádio Do Dragão where Porto managed to outplay them.
Liverpool outplayed Porto as they went down 5:1 at home. But Sérgio Conceição’s men showed composure and already have more points than predicted. They are arguably the weakest side in Group D but are still fighting to remain in it. The Dragões are in it till the end and even though they are going to be happy with a Europa League place, the elimination phase of the Champions League is also a possibility.
AC Milan vs Porto Betting Tips
Due to the aforementioned bad results, Milan’s win is priced at 2.05, which is actually not bad. They are the favourites and they are playing to stay in it.
In fact, let’s double things up and say that Milan will record a win at halftime and full time. At 3.45 it is not something to overlook.
