Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Both our prediction and odds from the bookies suggest that this Europa League clash should present fine viewing for neutrals in the ground, with at least 3 goals to scored in the fixture. As both sides are unconvincing in the WDW market given their recent form, we're going with the stats and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point strongly towards over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.

Goal Statistics

FC Porto's defensive record is to be admired, F. Farioli's men having conceded 1 or less in 11 consecutive Europa League games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for FC Utrecht makes sense in this context.

A PG of 2.2 is decent for FC Porto in their clash with FC Utrecht, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 20 consecutive Europa League matches.
