Real Betis host Porto at Estadio Ol\u00edmpico de Sevilla on Wednesday, October 14 (3:00 PM ET \/ 2:00 PM CT \/ 12:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Real Betis and Porto arrive at this one with no fresh fitness concerns reported on either side, which means both managers should be able to pick from close to full strength. For the hosts, Marc Bartra has been among the most eye-catching performers early on, the centre-back already off the mark with two goals from his two shots on target, while Troy Parrott’s movement up top \u2014 a goal and four shots in his opening outing \u2014 makes him the man most likely to lead the line. Pablo Fornals and Rodrigo Riquelme add craft further back, with four and two chances created respectively from the middle of the pitch. Porto’s side lacks that same scoring threat so far, but Cristian Ma\u00f1\u00f3n and Alan Varela have both shown for the ball through midfield, with Jakub Kiwior and Alberto expected to anchor the back line.<\/p>\n

This looks set up to be a tight, low-event contest rather than a shootout. Betis have the firepower up top to make the difference in behind, while Porto will need a much sharper night going forward after drawing a blank at home in their last outing. Expect control through the centre of the pitch to count for more than end-to-end chances, with one moment of quality in behind the Porto back line likely to settle it.<\/p>\n\n\n
