Porto v Chelsea Tips: Three shots on target plays for UCL quarter

This Champions League match being shown on BT sport at 20.00 on Wednesday features a clash between Porto and Chelsea. In the last 6 H2H games between these sides Chelsea have won 4 times, Porto once and there has been one draw.

Porto are on a good run of form having won 4 of their last 5 games and have only been defeated in the other game by Juventus. Chelsea had been on a long unbeaten run under Thomas Tuchel until the shock home defeat to West Brom on Saturday, though that loss could partly be attributed to a first half red card for Thiago Silva.

Team news

Porto will not have Olivera or Taremi available for the match due to suspension. Chelsea are missing Kante and Pulisic & Abraham are doubtful.

Bets

• Jorginho 1+ shot on target –6/4 (PP)
• Marenga 1+ shot on target – 8/13 (PP) 
• Otavia 1+ shot on target – 7/5 (PP)
• All three players 1+ shot on target each - 10/1 (PP)

Jorginho seems certain to start the match with Kante injured. He has scored 6 times in 17 starts this season in the Premier League from a defensive midfield position. As Jorginho takes penalties (all 6 goals have been penalties) and sometimes free kicks there is a strong possibility that he will have the opportunity to get at least 1 shot on target tonight.

Moussa Marega will be the main target man for the home side. He has 6 league goals for Porto this season but also an incredibly high number of shots on target in games i.e. a 71% strike rate.

The Porto wide man has struck a shot on target in 3 of his last 5 games and without Oliviera playing, more importance will be placed on him to gain Porto an advantage in this first tie between the teams.

In total the three selections on Paddy Power would give you odds over 10/1. Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
