Both sides have struggled to score in recent games, Porto averaging 1 goal per match and PSV just 0.5. Their last six fixtures produced only three goals in total, and both have defensive records that suggest a tight game. Injuries to several attackers on each team further limit attacking options, supporting an expectation of under 2.5 goals.
