Group winners Porto unlikely to ease up in Istanbul

Champions League Group D
BT Sport ESPN, 5.55pm Tuesday

A number of Tuesday's Champions League matches have little riding on them for at least one side and that is the case in Istanbul where Galatasaray are aiming to secure a Europa League place against a Porto team who are already assured of top spot.

Gala will finish third if they win or Lokomotiv don't triumph away to Schalke. The Turkish team could struggle to keep their destiny in their own hands despite Porto having nothing to play for.

• Champions League Group D standings

Fatih Terim's side, who are on a shocking run with no goals scored in their last four Champions League contests, have won just two of their last 11 games in all competitions and are mid-table domestically following a 2-2 draw with Rizespor.

Porto are resting centre-back Eder Militao, but most of those who have travelled form the basis of a side who have won 11 in a row by an aggregate margin of 32-6.

Recommendation
Porto +0.25 on Asian handicap
1pt 11-12 bet365, 188Bet
