Dortmund can press high and release Guirassy before Betis settle in midfield. Betis can answer through Isco's first reception, the wide runners and Bartra's dead-ball contact. The key is whether either side turns its first goal into sustained second-wave finishing. Porto and Napoli have a different first-pass contest, with Porto's pressure facing Napoli's rearranged central and wide roles.
Dortmund's Guirassy and late substitute finishes have made their pressure productive, but Betis have kept creating through Isco, Fornals and set pieces. Cucho, Losada and Firpo missed Betis's last match and remain out; their current midfield and Bartra route operated without them. Fidalgo's illness mostly affects reserve options after he went unused last match. Betis should work through the first press and keep delivering to the next box runner. That's why I'm siding with Betis.
Porto have shown repeat high recoveries and second-wave finishes through Veiga and Froholdt. Napoli can release Højlund through Gilmour or Anguissa, though Di Lorenzo and Olivera played their last match and are newly out, and Lobotka missed it after injury. Højlund's return and the proposed back three remain conditional, while Porto's Sainz and Pepê have already driven the current attack without their longer-standing absences. Porto should press Napoli's first exit and keep feeding its arriving midfielders. That's why I'm siding with FC Porto.
