Bournemouth - Nottingham, Picks and Tips
The home team makes its debut in this edition of the Europa League with the intention of achieving a positive result, taking advantage of the home factor. This is a team that maintains its performance when playing outside its stadium, as in the last 30 games it has recorded 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses as a visitor; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their stadium. The team comes to this match after a home draw against Sporting CP by (2‑2). Porto has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches for all competitions. Defensive consistency hasn't been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored regularly, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 18 of the last 27 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they conceded the first goal 5 times but managed to turn the score around in 3. Porto comes for this match after a 2-2 draw at home, against Sporting. The home club is aware of the quality of the opponent in this match, so it is expected that Porto will be very focused on the defensive sector to try to open some space to attack. It is foreseen that the forwards chosen by the blue and white coach for this match are Mehdi Taremi and Evanilson. In midfield, Fábio Vieira, Mateus Uribe, Otávio and Vitinha should play, with emphasis on the latter, who will be responsible for guiding the offensive sector of his team. The home team coach will not be able to count on Fernando Andrade and Wilson Manafá as they are currently recovering from injury.
