Juventus vs Porto Match Preview and Team News
Juventus
Porto were the only winners at home in the first leg of the Round of 16 in the Champions League. They beat Juventus 2-1 and hope to hold off for a place in the quarter-finals when they tour Italy for the return leg. However, they’ll find a much improved Juventus side that hasn’t lost since their meeting in Portugal. Juventus have also turned on their scoring form as Porto tour, hoping to protect their slim advantage. The Italians have scored three goals in three of their last four matches, and needing just a 1-0 win to advance, they’ll be firing from all cylinders in this clash. Juventus showed the fight in them after coming from down to beat Lazio 3-1 in their last Serie A match. That was the fourth time in five games that their games hit over 2.5 goals. The hosts have four wins in their previous five Champions League matches, and each of the five games has produced over 2.5 goals. Federico Bernardeschi is a guy who makes a lot of trouble for the opponent on the left side. He has speed, and he is unstoppable in a one-on-one game. Cristiano Ronaldo is a football machine, and it is a real pleasure to watch this man.
Porto
Porto’s win over Juventus in this tie’s first leg was their first-ever over the Italians in the five matches they’ve met. While they lead, this tie is still tight, and they’ll be hoping to score in Turin to secure their advantage. They were recently eliminated from the Portuguese Cup and trail Sporting by 10 points in the Portuguese league, which leaves this as a key competition. Three of their last five matches have had over 2.5 goals scored, and they have just one loss in the previous 12 games, across all competitions. Porto hasn’t lost a game in this competition in the last six and packs up five wins and as many clean sheets. They have back to back away wins in this competition, but those were against Olympiakos and Marseille. Sergio Oliveira has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup.
