An unprecedented contest

Betis Seville and FC Porto have never previously met in an official match. Wednesday’s fixture will therefore be the first competitive encounter between the two clubs, with both sides looking to establish an early advantage in the new head-to-head.

Betis Seville go into the game with considerable momentum. Manuel Pellegrini’s side began their Champions League campaign with a 3-2 win at Lille and have also made an impressive start in La Liga, where they are unbeaten in their past five matches.

Their latest result was a convincing 5-2 victory over Osasuna at the weekend, further underlining the Andalusian club’s strong run of form ahead of their first European home game of the campaign.

FC Porto’s domestic record is even stronger. The Portuguese team have won all eight of their league matches so far this season, but their Champions League opener ended in disappointment as they lost 2-0 at home to Manchester City.

Porto will need to be more clinical in Seville if they are to leave Spain with a positive result and avoid falling further behind in the competition.

Prediction and match odds

Betis Seville are marginal favourites because of their recent results and home advantage, although FC Porto have enough quality to make the contest difficult. The estimated probability of a home win is 46%.

Africafoot’s prediction is a 2-1 victory for Betis Seville.

The listed odds are 2.12 for Betis Seville to win, 3.80 for a draw and 3.30 for an FC Porto victory.
