FC Porto have been excellent domestically, winning seven of their last eight matches across all competitions. The one blip was a 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City in their Champions League opener. Everything else, including a 3-1 win over Benfica, has gone their way.
Porto's domestic form looks stronger on paper, but their only loss in this run came in this very competition.

With only one round played, these positions could shift plenty before this match comes around. It's an early snapshot rather than anything settled.
What to expect
Betis go into this with real confidence after beating Real Madrid at home and winning away at Villarreal and Lille. That kind of form suggests they won't be fazed by a big European night.
Porto will want to put their Man City defeat behind them. Everything else in their recent matches points to a side scoring goals freely and defending tightly, so a response wouldn't be a surprise.
This fixture is still around three weeks away from where we're looking at it now, so injuries, suspensions or squad rotation could easily change things by kickoff.

Both sides arrive with good habits from their domestic leagues, but this fixture doesn't give a clean read on what's likely to happen on the pitch. Betis look sharp at home and Porto have scored freely everywhere bar their Man City game, so it's a fairly even picture heading in.
Without a market to weigh up, we're not making a case either way here. It's one worth revisiting closer to kickoff, once team news and prices are in place.
