Manchester City will look to continue their good record against Porto and get their Champions League campaign off to a solid start on Tuesday night in what will be their 150th European Cup fixture.
City have yet to lose in four meetings with the Portuguese outfit, winning three, and the last time these faced each other the Premier League club would go on to reach the 2020-21 Champions League final.
City have only reached the final once since then, beating Inter Milan in the 2023 showpiece, and that will be one of the targets new boss Enzo Maresca and his expensively-assembled squad will have their sights on this term.
Porto are two-time European champions but have not progressed beyond the quarter-finals since last lifting the cup under Jose Mourinho in 2004, and did not even qualify for the Champions League in 2024 and 2025. They are now back at the top table after winning the Primeira Liga for the first time in four years, and go into the clash on the back of a five-game winning streak at the start of their title defence.
City have also enjoyed a 100 per cent start to their league campaign and we think the two in-form sides will share the spoils at the Estadio Dragao @ 14/5 as our first Porto vs Man City prediction.

Form Guides
Porto form guide
Porto won their opening nine games last season en route to their 31st Portuguese title and the Europa League quarter-finals - where they lost to Nottingham Forest - and have got off another flyer this term. Francesco Farioli’s side have racked up a maximum 15-point league haul since beating Torreense in the Portuguese Super Cup and only conceded their first goal in Friday’s 2-1 win over Moreirense .
Gabri Veiga has netted three of their 11 goals and the Spanish playmaker is 10/3 to add another against City , with Andre Silva (2/1 to score any time), Borja Sainz (7/2) and William Gomes (10/3) also in form having each struck twice this season.
Porto have won eight of their last 10 Champions League group/league stage fixtures and have only lost one of their last 14 home matches in European competition. That suggests a tough night for Maresca’s City and we think a score draw @ 15/4 could be on the cards, with a 1-1 scoreline our pick @ 13/2.
Manchester City form guide
City were brushed aside by Arsenal in Maresca’s first competitive game in charge, the Gunners running out 3-0 winners in the Community Shield , but the Etihad outfit have responded with three successive league wins.
Late goals from Marc Guehi and Josko Gvardiol saw City snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against Bournemouth but there were no such headaches next up against Crystal Palace , where braces from Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki secured a 4-1 win.
Haaland was also on the mark on Saturday as promoted Coventry were edged out 1-0 and the Norway striker is 4/5 to score for the third game running. City’s away form in Europe hasn’t been great, losing six of their last nine matches on their travels, but one theme that has been a constant is goals. All of their last 19 Champions League games have produced at least two goals and you can get 2/11 for the same thing to happen on Tuesday.
