Thursday's game in Porto between one of the biggest Portuguese teams and Midtjylland could be one of the deciding for both teams' Europa League ambitions. In the first five matches, Porto collected only five points, while the Danish side has two more. Both sides need one or two more good results to secure a place in the playoff.
While Porto have problems in the Europa League, in the Portuguese league, they are third on the table but with only two points fewer than the league leader, Sporting CP. However, Porto have struggled lately, with only one win in the last six matches. Last weekend, Porto played 1-1 on the road against Famalicao. The guests expected much more, but although they had ball possession and a number of shots on their side, Porto couldn't find a way to all three points.
Midtjylland are doing great in the Danish league this season. With 33 points from 17 matches, they share the top spot in the national league with FC Copenhagen. However, Midtjylland, similar to Porto, are struggling lately, with only two wins in the last seven matches. In the previous game, they won 3-0 on the road against Vejle. The home side finished the match with an xG of 1.93, while guests had only 0.91, but Midtjylland still secured a big victory.
Porto vs Midtjylland pick: Under 3.5 goals
Porto scored only eight goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Midtjylland scored only nine goals in the previous nine games. We should expect three or fewer goals on Thursday night in Porto.
Porto team news
Porto failed to win against Famalicao, but the head coach, Vitor Bruno, was still satisfied. He said that his players were serious, honest, and had a competitive attitude and a winning mentality but couldn't secure all three points.
Ivan Marcano and Wendell are the only Porto players unavailable for Thursday due to injuries.
