DORTMUND v SEVILLA – Click here to bet
Dortmund won a thrilling first leg in Spain by 3-2 and are firmly in the box seat heading into this encounter. Over 2.5 goal backers would have collected in 5 of Dortmund’s 7 Champions League matches this season and the last 3 have all seen both teams find the back of the net. Domestically, Dortmund are coming off a 4-2 away defeat to Bayern Munich in the League.
Sevilla have it all to do after losing the first leg and they will take some heart from the fact that they were unbeaten away from home in the group stages, including a goalless draw at Chelsea. They are not in the best of form domestically and have lost their last 3 games, 2 in the League and 1 in the Cup. On the weekend they went down 2-1 away at Elche.
BETTING
Dortmund 5/4
Draw 53/20
Sevilla 21/10
Suggested Bet: Dortmund win at 5/4
Dortmund don’t have to win this game to progress, but with Sevilla having to press forward I think they are going to get plenty of opportunities to score and I think the 5/4 is an attractive price on the German outfit.
JUVENTUS v PORTO – Click here to bet
Juventus lost the first leg 2-1 at Porto so this clash is very nicely set up indeed. They now play at home where they were strong in the group stages winning 2 of their 3 matches with their only defeat coming against Barcelona. 6 of the 7 Juventus matches in the Champions League have delivered 2 or 3 goals on aggregate, a bet that is generally priced around the 9/10 mark. Looking at their domestic form they are unbeaten in their last 4 and are coming off back-to-back home victories over Lazio and Spezia scoring 3 goals in each of them.
Porto had 2 wins and 1 loss in their 3 away matches in the group stages with their loss coming 3-1 at Manchester City in Match Day 1. They had a 2-0 away win in the League over the weekend, but were dumped out of their domestic Cup in the middle of last week, losing at home to Braga.
BETTING
Juventus 5/10
Draw 71/20
Porto 11/2
Suggested Bet: High Scoring Half, Second at 1/1
I think Porto will look to keep things tight early, but when and if we do get a goal from either side this game is going to explode into action and I fancy the second half to deliver more goals than the first.
