Liverpool were lucky enough to draw Porto, a side that came into the quarter finals with one of the biggest possible prices to win the Champions League this year. There isn’t a huge amount of value available on Liverpool to win this contest and they come into it with a best price of around 3/10.

It will be interesting to see how Liverpool’s price shifts around during the build-up to the match and you really get the feeling that Porto will be looking to park the bus and hit them on the counter. With the type of offensive firepower Liverpool have you can easily be down 2-0 very quickly and that would leave Porto with too much to do in the return leg in Portugal.

The Reds are even shorter in regards to outright qualification and you’ll find them trading at 1/7 right now to ensure progress through to the semi-finals. Porto can be backed at a price as high as 9/2.

Mohammed Salah comes into the contest as an 11/4 favourite to score the first goal and he’s likely to be starting the match. He’s in the hunt for the Champions League top goalscorer but has a lot of work to do to catch up to Lionel Messi. You reckon that he’ll be fancying his chances against the Porto defence.

Sadio Mane is the next best-priced player to score and he’s available at a solid 9/2 price tag to open the scoring.
