The defeat means that Sergio Conceicao’s team has won two and lost two of their previous four matches in all competitions.
A 3-0 win over Chaves last time out in the Primeira Liga followed a high-scoring trend for Porto in recent games, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five matches in all competitions.
Porto has a poor recent record in the Champions League, as the Portuguese outfit has failed to win in four games in European football’s elite competition, having suffered three straight losses.
They have also lost three of their previous four home matches in the Champions League while conceding at least two goals in all three defeats.
The visitors opened their European campaign with a 1-0 win over Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen.
The victory is now part of a six-game winning run in all competitions for Carl Hoefkens’ team, including five wins in their domestic top-flight.
Club Brugge’s victory on gameweek one ended a four-game losing streak in the Champions League for the Belgian outfit. They have also won just three of their previous 12 matches in European football’s elite competition.
The boys from Brugge have a poor recent away record in the Champions League, as they have won just one of their previous five away games in the competition, having suffered three defeats in the run.
Forebet predicts that Porto will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to end their poor recent run in European football’s elite competition.
