Porto need Champions League win as PSV Eindhoven visit Estadio do Dragao

FC Porto face PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, with both sides seeking their first victory in this season’s Champions League league phase.

The third-round match will begin at 19:00 GMT at the Estadio do Dragao, where Porto must respond after losing their opening two matches.

The Portuguese side started with a 2-0 home defeat by Manchester City before suffering a 3-2 loss away to Real Betis. Those results leave the Dragons bottom of their current campaign with no points, making victory against PSV essential if they are to prevent qualification from slipping further away.

PSV Eindhoven also arrive without a win. Peter Bosz’s side drew 1-1 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening fixture, then lost 1-0 away to RB Leipzig. The Dutch club have one point and will be aiming to claim their first Champions League victory of the season in Portugal.

PSV have scored more goals across those matches, however, finding the net seven times compared with Porto’s five.

Match prediction

Africafoot expects Porto to benefit from home advantage and the pressure created by their winless start. The Portuguese club’s record at the Estadio do Dragao and their slight historical edge over PSV are viewed as important factors against a visiting side that has yet to win in this Champions League campaign.

Africafoot’s prediction is a 1-0 victory for FC Porto.

The listed betting odds are 1.52 for a Porto win, 4.30 for a draw and 4.60 for a PSV Eindhoven victory.
