Mixed start in toughest group
These two sides have suffered mixed results so far in the Champions League and need to achieve some consistency if they are to progress from what is arguably the most evenly matched group in the competition.
RB Leipzig will have been happy with an opening draw against last season's semi-finalists Monaco, but then suffered a 2-0 loss to Besiktas in their first ever Champions League away match. They will, however, be pleased with their domestic form. Leipzig have won their last three Bundesliga games, including a 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund at the weekend, that sent them to within three points of the league leaders.
Porto are unbeaten in the Primeira Liga but were also defeated by the Group G front runners Besiktas in their Champions League opener. They bounced back with an impressive 3-0 win away at Monaco that moved them up to the second qualification spot.
Vincent Aboubakar scored a brace against Monaco and has been in deadly form since returning from last season's loan spell at Besiktas. Originally signed in 2014, the striker has scored eight goals in as many games and it looks as though he's finally established himself at the Portuguese giants.
Inexperienced Leipzig are too short
RB Leipzig are the favourites at 2.10, with the draw at 3.65 and Porto out at 3.85.
When you consider Leipzig's results in what is their first Champions League campaign, there is little justification in them being such heavy favourites against a Porto side in very good form.
Porto's price is big enough to make the 1.88 for them in the Double Chance market a tempting prospect, but instead take a chance on a draw, which would leave both teams in with a chance of automatic qualification.
