Champions League Betting: Value with Porto in top scoring team market

The Champions League is edging towards the business end of the group stage and this week’s fixtures could be make or break for some teams.

With so much at stake, goals are likely to be on the agenda and bet365 have a market on which team will be the highest scoring on Tuesday evening.

Ahead of their trip to Red Star Belgrade, Liverpool are unsurprisingly 10/3 (4.33) favourites after seeing off the same opponent 4-0 at Anfield just two weeks ago.

However, given that the Serbians have conceded just once at home in their last five European games and the Reds have not fully found their footing yet this season, that price is perhaps a little short.

Tottenham face PSV in a must-win game and are 9/2 (5.50) to score the most goals, but perhaps better value can be found in Porto at 11/2 (6.50) as they host struggling Lokomotiv Moscow.

The Portuguese side have been unstoppable this season, netting 17 goals in their last five matches including a 3-1 win in the reverse fixture just two weeks ago, and should be able to continue that trend here.

Indeed, Porto beat Monaco 5-2 and RB Leipzig 3-1 at home last season and having already cruised past Lokomotiv just a fortnight ago, there is little to suggest another convincing win will not be on the cards.

Yuri Semin’s men were beaten 3-0 at Galatasaray on Matchday One of the competition sit bottom of Group D with three losses from three, so their confidence is likely to be completely shot as they travel to Portugal.

A whole host of teams at 12/1 (13.0) may also prove to be popular selections, with Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Monaco and Barcelona all available at that price.
