After a 3 week break, the Europa League, Europe's second-tier club competition, resumes this Thursday. Porto entered the tournament as one of the favorites for the title, given their reputation and quality, but so far they have not quite lived up to expectations. In their opening game, they suffered a disappointing defeat against Bodo/Glimt, even though they had a man advantage. Things didn’t get much better in their second match, where they only managed a draw against Manchester United. That game had a rough start for Porto, with the English side taking a two-goal lead in just 20 minutes. However, by the 50th minute, Porto had pulled off an incredible comeback, leading 3-2. But just when it seemed like they would seal the win, Manchester United's Harry Maguire capitalized on a defensive lapse and headed in an equalizer, leaving Porto with just one point.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, picked up their first Europa League win in the last round against Dinamo Kyiv. They dominated much of the game, with young striker Adam Hlozek scoring twice to help them earn four points in total. That victory gave them a real boost, and they followed it up with solid performances in the Bundesliga, beating Stuttgart and Bochum. Hoffenheim is coming into this match full of confidence.
Porto vs Hoffenheim pick: PORTO TO WIN
Both teams have found some good form recently, so this promises to be an exciting clash. After their draw with Manchester United, Porto bounced back with domestic wins over Braga in the league and Sintrense in the cup. One big positive for Porto has been the resurgence of Galeno, who has been key with two goals and an assist across those two victories. His failed move to Saudi Arabia seems to be behind him, which is great news for Porto’s ambitions this season.
While Hoffenheim will certainly pose a threat, with their strong recent performances, Porto will have the advantage of playing at home, where 50,000 passionate fans will back them. That kind of support can make all the difference in tight games. With their quality and home advantage, Porto seems the more likely side to come away with the win in this one.
Porto team news
Porto’s coach, Vitor Bruno, has a big advantage going into the match against Hoffenheim – he’s got his full squad available, with no injuries to worry about. Everyone’s fit and ready to go. Porto has already lifted this trophy twice, and with a team at full strength, they’ll be pushing hard to claim a third title this season. It’s all set up for them to give it their best shot at more European glory.
