Porto vs Atletico Madrid betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League By Isaiah

Porto vs Atletico Madrid betting tips 1 October 2013 Champions League: "Porto didn’t do many positive things on the field, but still managed to get a 1:0 victory at home over Guimaraes on Friday evening scoring from non-existent penalty in 51st minute. Goalscorer was Josue, but overall impression is that the home side would get the victory one way or another, even if no penalty was awarded early in the second half."

In any way, they continued good streak and now have 5-1-0 record in the domestic league being at the first position with two points more than second placed Sporting and what seems to be more important, they are five points above Benfica, team that was their main rival for the title in previous years. With a 1:0 victory over Austria Vienna in the first round of Champions League away from home, they have nothing to be negative about as the team made almost perfect start into the new season. In a group together with Atletico Madrid, Austria Vienna and Zenit, their expectation is to get the second phase of this competition and tonight’s game might be a crucial one in case of a victory, although the Portuguese side would surely not be disappointed with the draw either.

Home side has absolutely no worries in front of tonight’s game as Steven Defour returns to the team, while the coach is expected to name the same squad that played on Friday night against Guimaraes.

Atletico Madrid is coming from probably one of the most important victories in recent years for them, as the team managed to pull out a 1:0 victory away from home against Real Madrid in the last Primera round on Saturday night. With morale boosting victory, they will try to get as good as possible result in Portugal and make a step further towards qualification to the next stage in Champions League.

With a victory over Real Madrid, they managed to maintain the 100% start into the new season and now have 7-0-0 record in Primera being still tied together with Barcelona at the top of the standings. Things to be better, they have started the Champions League with a 3:1 home victory over Zenit, while the only negative thing in the new season remains their Super Cup finals against Barcelona where they lost the title with two draws and away goal rule. In any way, atmosphere can’t be better in the team that shows to be one of the strongest in Spain. Guests will be without injured attacking midfielder Adrian, while Diego Costa (7/8 in domestic competition) is suspended from tonight’s game. Other than that, coach Simeone has no things to worry about, while Leo Baptistao is expected to partner David Villa upfront.

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Porto’s last 3 games in the Champions League.
Porto have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches against Atletico.
Both teams made a perfect start in the first round of Champions League and now have a chance to improve their chances of qualifying to the next phase even more. I expect a bit more open game than the bookmakers do, while both teams surely have enough offensive quality to score at least once during the game.

Bet: Over 2.25 goals
