Best Tip: Porto to win

It looks like we could well have a dominant side in this fixture, and it's Porto. Their recent form statistics show what they've got in their locker on home turf, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they can get the job done against Nacional too. The odds point towards Martin Svedik's side coming out on top in the win / draw / win market, and that's our strong prediction for Saturday afternoon too.
