On this page
We make Real Betis slight favourites at home to Porto: Betis 36.8%, Porto 34.2%, the draw 29.0%. That is close to a coin toss with a draw in the middle. The best price we saw on Betis was 2.27 at 1xBet against our fair price of 2.72, so the market is far keener on Betis than we are: a 7.2 point negative edge. The number is an estimate, not a promise.
Kick-off is 19:00 UTC tonight (20:00 in the UK, 21:00 in Seville) at La Cartuja, matchday 2 of the Champions League league phase.
Our numbers
| Outcome | Our chance | Fair price | Best price seen | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real Betis | 36.8% | 2.72 | 2.27, 1xBet | −7.2 pts |
| Draw | 29.0% | 3.45 | ||
| Porto | 34.2% | 2.93 |
The 2.27 was quoted at 23:47 UTC on 3 October, so it is eleven days old by kick-off. At 2.27 the market implied 44.1% for Betis. We are seven points lower. A gap that wide on a negative edge means one thing: at that price, our research says Betis are the wrong side to back. How to read an old quote is in how to read a BAI8 price that is days old, and why we publish a card like this at all is in why BAI8 publishes negative-edge calls.
What moved the number
- Porto are short at centre-back. Jan Bednarek serves the second game of a ban carried over from last season, and BTCLod reports Chris Smalling and Dominik Prpić are not registered for the Champions League. Sports Mole says Pablo Rosario could fill in. We go through it in Porto's centre-back gap and the Betis price.
- Betis are missing width. Sports Mole lists Junior Firpo (adductor) and Aitor Ruibal (knee) out and Antony needing assessment after a muscular problem against Osasuna.
- Different starts. MinutoLive has Betis on three points from matchday 1 and Porto on none, which is part of why the market leans home.
What could make us wrong
Isco scored twice against Levante at the weekend (Sports Mole) and a home crowd at La Cartuja is real. If Antony is fit and Porto's makeshift back line struggles early, Betis can win this comfortably, and our 36.8% would look low. A draw at 29.0% is also a large slice: on our numbers, about one match in three and a half ends level.
How it settled
Real Betis won 3–2 in Seville, per Sky Sports. Abde Ezzalzouli scored just after half-time, Porto went ahead through Gabri Veiga and Samu Aghehowa, then Cucho Hernández levelled from Antony's pass and Isco won it with an 84th-minute penalty. Our pick was Betis, so the Desk record settles it as won, but the card carried a −7.2 point edge: we said 2.27 was too short for a side we gave 36.8%. A makeshift Porto back line conceding three fits what we flagged; one home win does not show the price was fair.
What this does not tell you
It does not say Porto will win. We make Betis the likeliest single result. It says only that 2.27 is a short price for a side we give under 37%. It covers match result only, not goals or handicaps, and the line-ups land an hour before kick-off.
18+. Bet only what you can afford to lose.
