Varazdin will host Gorica for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. However, the visitors have better team than their opponent. I think, Gorica have a great chance to get all three points. Gorica is very average team in this season. In previous game Gorica is won 3-0 against weak Istra 1961. Also, we have Varazdin who's is worst team in this league. Varazdin have slight advantage at home stadium. They have low potential in attack. In any case, the hosts have a very difficult task. I think, Gorica will closer to victory.

In the betting, 'Napoli Win to Nil' appeals. Defensively, Napoli have been strong in Group E, especially at this venue, where they shut out Liverpool's fierce attack. In addition, they also shut Genk out, giving away just one on target in the process, in the reverse fixture. We've seen that they've got the attacking quality to do the business against Genk's dodgy back-line, but given that they must win, they're unlikely to do anything stupid defensively.
33% of Porto’s home games have produced exactly 2 goals and 50% of Santa Clara’s away games have also produced exactly 2 goals, which suggests that our prediction for a 2-0 final scoreline looks even more realistic. A majority of Porto’s wins this season have been obtained with a margin of 2 goals or more (6 wins) while a majority of Santa Clara’s defeats been by a margin of 2 goals or more (3 defeats), all of which backs-up our prediction for Thursday’s clash.

We went from the heartbreak of losing a team to having one of the biggest clubs in the world investing," said filmmaker Aaron Hooper. It was super exciting.
