All eyes will be on Estadio do Dragao when two in-form sides Porto and Manchester City go head to head in the Champions League round 1. The Portuguese champions have won all of their matches this season, including a 2-1 victory over Moreirense at the weekend. Porto have been particularly formidable at home, winning 86% of their last 10 matches while conceding just 0.43 goals per game. Samu, Pietuszewski, Sousa and Zaidu remain injured, while Jan Bednarek is suspended and his absence could be a concern at the back.
Manchester City have also made a perfect start, winning their opening three Premier League games under Enzo Maresca, although they needed a narrow 1-0 victory over Coventry at the weekend. Erling Haaland remains their main attacking threat, with new signings Enzo Fernandez and Iliman Ndiaye expected to start. Jeremy Doku is unavailable, but City have won 60% of their last 10 games and average 1.70 goals per match. The visitors also have a strong H2H record, winning three of four previous meetings.
As Man City have won three of the four previous meetings and possess greater attacking depth, Away Win should be considered, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (three of the four H2H clashes produced at least three goals).
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 8 September 2026 at 20:00.
