Man City vs Porto – Wednesday 22nd February (ESPN, 17:00)

Manchester City host Porto at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday looking to book their place in the last 16 of the Europa League. Sergio Aguero’s late winner at the Estádio do Dragão last week puts City firmly in the driving seat against the holders Porto who face a mammoth task to stay in the competition. Ladbrokes have City as the hot 8/12 favourites to win the match, while Porto can be backed at 9/2 for the win, with a draw available at 13/5. Ladbrokes will refund losing first goalscorer bets if Adam Johnson scores at any time.

Aguero’s late goal means City take a 2-1 lead into the second-leg and while they should be too strong for their opponents they will be wary of their attacking threat. City have a fantastic record at the Etihad Stadium this season, winning 16 of their 18 matches in front of their home supporters. Robert Mancini’s men look a good bet at 7/1 to win the match 2-0, while they are available at 12/1 to record a 3-1 win. Porto have odds of 16/1 to take the tie into extra time with a 2-1 win in 90 minutes, with a 1-1 priced at 11/2.

Free scoring City have been handed odds of 13/8 to win with three or more goals scored in the match. Sergio Agüero and Mario Balotelli can both be backed at 3/1 to be the First Goalscorer, with Edin Dzeko priced at 11/2. On-loan midfielder David Pizarro may be given a chance to shine and along with Yaya Toure is available at 7/1 to open the scoring, while Adam Johnson can be backed at 9/1 to score first. Hulk has been given odds 8/1 to grab the game’s first goal and make the tie interesting, while Djalma has odds of 10/1.
