Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Nottm Forest and Porto will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Ange Postecoglou or Francesco Baldini has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.25 equating to about a 80% probability.
