Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner for this clash, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Utrecht and Porto will score at least a couple of goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Ron Jans or Francesco Farioli has served up too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.30 equating to approximately a 74% probability.

Goal Statistics

FC Porto's defensive record is very strong, F. Farioli's men having conceded 1 or less in 11 consecutive Europa League games. An average PG rating of 1.1 for FC Utrecht makes sense in this context.

FC Porto's fans will be hoping for goals on Thursday evening, not least because FC Utrecht have conceded in each of their last 5 Europa League matches. A PG of 1.8 for F. Farioli's side suggests that run should continue.
