Stats Picks – Champions League…
Three-time holders Real Madrid were knocked out of the Champions League last night. That 4-1 defeat to Ajax was a surprise score-line, but stayed true to form in terms of the Over 2.5 Goals stats.
Not so in Dortmund though, where a solitary Harry Kane goal secured a 1-0 win for Tottenham and confirmed their place in the quarter final draw (Aggregate: 4-0).
FEATURED GAME
Tonight, Man Utd travel to PSG with a 2-0 deficit to try and overturn. Never an easy task, and even harder this evening with United missing nine players through injury – and star man Paul Pogba is suspended.
The other tie is in Portugal and this one gets our stats attention today...
Porto v Roma
Champions League
8pm – BT Sport
Aggregate score: 1-2
Match odds: Porto 17/20 (1.85), Draw 14/5 (3.80), Roma 10/3 (4.33)
To Qualify: Porto 6/5 (2.20), Roma 4/6 (1.67)
Roma are 2-1 up from the 1st Leg but are under big pressure to get a result tonight after a 3-0 defeat at rivals Lazio in Serie A on Sunday.
Porto won all 3 Home games in the Group stage, and only a win will do tonight to give them a chance of going through.
The stats say Over 2.5 Goals. This was our pick in the 1st Leg and it’s a case of same again for this evening:
Six of Roma’s 7 Champions League games this season have gone Over 2.5 Goals, as have 6 of their last 7 league games in Italy.
Over 2.5 Goals has paid out in each of Porto’s last 5 Champions League games, and in 6 of their last 7 Home games in the competition.
The Portuguese side have managed just one Clean Sheet in Europe this season, and just 2 in their last 13 Champions League games going back to the last campaign.
Roma have kept just 2 Clean Sheets in their last 13 Away games in all comps – with no shut-outs in their last 10 on the road in European cup competition.
Over 2.5 Goals is a best price 4/6 (1.67) with Betfair Sportsbook, 888 Sport, Unibet and 8/13 (1.62) in general.
