Real Betis aim to improve their home record vs FC Porto

Real Betis face FC Porto looking to improve a European home record against Portuguese sides. The Verdiblancos have won just one of their four official matches in Seville versus teams from Portugal, with one win, one draw and two losses.

On Wednesday, at La Cartuja, in the Champions League second matchday, they will try to change that trend. Their most recent Sevilla encounter ended in a round of 16/quarter-style exit versus Sporting Braga in the Europa League: 1-1 in the first leg and 2-4 in the return, after leading 2-0 before half an hour.

The European history against Portuguese clubs dates back to 1982/83, when Benfica knocked Betis out in the first round of the UEFA Cup. Since then they’ve faced Vitória de Guimarães and Sporting Braga, with an overall record of three wins, two draws and three defeats, and they now want to shift the balance at home, per Mundo Deportivo.
