Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League features a clash between Real Betis and FC Porto, scheduled for Wednesday at 19:00 at La Cartuja in Sevilla, the home ground of the Spanish side. After losing their opening match, the Portuguese club is eager to bounce back.
Real Betis is experiencing its second season in the UEFA Champions League, following its run in 2005-2006 when the club finished 3rd in the group behind Liverpool and Chelsea. It has taken until this season for Betis to reappear on the continental stage. In their first match, Isco and his teammates triumphed over Lille. They aim to build on this success tonight against Porto.
On the other hand, FC Porto is looking to move past their defeat to Manchester City at the start of the tournament. They can rely on some impressive statistics. The Portuguese side has scored at least 2 goals in nine of their last eleven European matches, and the loss to the Sky Blues was just their 3rd in 11 games in the group stage of Europe's premier competition.
