Specialist in Scandinavian & European soccer. I have been in the betting game for nearly 20 years now with a summer focus on the Norwegian & Swedish leagues. With an in-depth knowledge of the region & teams I have been involved in a specialist podcast & more for close to a decade. My favourite types of bets are attacking the goal lines and identifying the tactics & style of each team & manager who can contribute positively. Outside of betting I was once a Sunday League goalkeeper myself. But my boots are now retired and instead prefer to hit up the cricket pitch and golf course in my spare time.

Level 1 Bet Builder Tip

🚩 Over 8.5 match corners

📈 Odds: 1.33

Man United matches average exactly ten corners per game in the Premier League this season and their own average is a hefty 8.50. The style that United play often leads to corners with their offensive style to get crosses in early. Porto average 6.57 corners domestically and both teams combined should contribute towards over 8.5 flag kicks in this game. There were 15 corners in Man United’s first Europa game vs Twente, whilst Porto’s opener away to Bodo/Glimt contained 11.

🩹 Kobbie Mainoo to be fouled 2+ times

📈 Odds: 1.83

Young England star Kobbie Mainoo is the most fouled Man United player who has played significant minutes this season. He’s been fouled 1.70 times per 90 mins on average in the Premier League and has a knack of being elusive and knowing how to win free kicks. Taking him to be fouled twice or more seems very possible in a fixture where he’s in the heart of the action. He will be up against Nico Gonzalez, Alan Varela and possibly Vasco Sousa who all average well over one foul per 90 mins.

🎯 Porto to have 4+ shots on target

📈 Odds: 1.29

Porto are one of the biggest shooting teams domestically, racking up 17.3 per game and exactly seven on target on average in the Liga Portugal this season. They fired in eight attempts on target in their opener away to Bodo/Glimt and now at home they should be able to test the keeper at least four times. Porto are perhaps underrated against an average defence at best. United conceded three shots on target to Twente last week and Spurs racked up 11 at Old Trafford recently.

🚀 Galeno to have 2+ shots

📈 Odds: 1.25

Brazilian winger Galeno is Porto’s leading scorer this season with five goals. He’s been in fine form and his confidence will be high heading into this game. Galeno was rested to the bench against Bodo/Glimt but the hosts should be at full strength here and he will be a key cog in their offensive armoury. Galeno averages three shots per 90 mins in the Liga Portugal and should be expected to fire at least two attempts in this game. Man United are a team who have conceded a lot of shots over the last 18 months, so one of Porto’s biggest weapons should get a couple of shots away as a bare minimum.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip

🎯 Galeno to have 1+ shots on target

📈 Odds: 1.53

He is the leading Porto scorer this season and averages 1.83 shots on target per 90 mins in the Liga Portugal. He came off the bench last week v Bodo/Glimt to register three shots, with one on target. Here at home, taking the Brazilian just to fire one shot on target or more seems well within his reach. Galeno just scored at home to Arouca at the weekend so is in fine form approaching the contest.

🛑 Nico Gonzalez to commit 2+ fouls

📈 Odds: 1.40

Porto average the sixth most fouls in the Liga Portugal at 14.9 per game. This is significantly more than their big rivals Benfica and Sporting. Of the ‘big three’ they are probably the most cynical and physical team who will get stuck in. One of their main protagonists is midfielder Nico Gonzalez who averages a crazy 2.90 fouls per 90 mins domestically. He’s already obtained three cards and racked up two fouls vs Bodo/Glimt last week. Taking the Spaniard to match that here looks a good bet builder addition. Facing the Man United midfield including Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes only adds weight to his foul argument.

🥅 Bruno Fernandes to score or assist

📈 Odds: 2.63

This is a big match for Bruno. He was in the limelight for the wrong reasons at the weekend after getting sent off vs Spurs. It was a harsh red but this is a player who has been facing plenty of criticism recently. With Bruno being suspended at the weekend we can expect him to give everything in this contest. As a former Sporting player, he’s going to be really fired up against one of their big rivals. He will likely get a hostile reception from the crowd but that should only fire him up more. He needs a performance and this could be a good time to strike in the ‘to score or assist’ market. He’s drawn a blank in his last three games but scored or assisted in his previous four before that. He can make a difference here so let’s get on Bruno whilst everyone is down on him.

🛑 Noussair Mazraoui to commit 1+ foul

📈 Odds: 1.36

Moroccan international Noussair Mazraoui now averages the most fouls per 90 mins of any Man United player (1.70) in the Premier League. This is quite an increase on last year when he was at Bayern where he averaged less than one foul per game. This highlights the problematic team he is currently in at Man United where there is a lot more pressure on certain players. He’s going to be up against Galeno on the left wing who is the most fouled Porto player (2.10 per 90) so this looks like a difficult matchup. The odds on Mazraoui just to commit one foul or more look a great value addition to any bet builder.
