Preview
Porto need points. Two Champions League games have brought two defeats, at home to Manchester City and away at Real Betis, and they sit on zero with six matches left. Tuesday at the Dragão is the obvious place to start. Farioli's injury list is short: only winger William Gomes and Vasco Sousa are ruled out, per Record. PSV arrive in worse shape. They lost 2-1 at ADO Den Haag on Saturday to a stoppage-time header after Sven Mijnans was sent off before half-time, and Mijnans had been playing as a stand-in striker because PSV have no fit senior centre-forward. Worse, top scorer Guus Til left that game after a heavy fall and is a doubt; Bosz said he could not see properly when he came off. PSV have one point from two European games. The market already makes Porto favourites; the doubts around Til and PSV's thin attack push us a little further. We rate the home win at 60%.
Porto at home against a PSV side without a recognised striker and possibly without their top scorer. We rate the home win at 60% at 1.70.
