Schalke - FC Porto Prediction, Picks and Tips
In Group D of the Champions League, Tuesday, September 18th, will be played the game Schalke 04 - FC Porto. The match will take place on "Veltins Arena", starting at 20:00. "Miners" are trying to recover after a series of three consecutive defeats. Continuing the series of negative results, the hosts recorded a new defeat in the last round of the Bundesliga, 1-2 in the move from M'Gladbach. Although they did not have a disappointing evolution, finally the lack of efficiency of the offensive once again said the word. Only 21 years old, Breel Embolo saved the honor of the team in the 90 + 3 minute. It is only the 6th goal scored by Embolo in the three seasons spent in the Bundesliga. Instead, Guido Burgstaller, the team's top scorer in the previous edition, is still looking for his first success. Thus, without any points accumulated in the first three stages, Schalke finds himself at the bottom of the headquarters. A start more than disappointing for Germany's vice-champion. On the other side, in a game in which he has played some of the main players, FC Porto drew in the League Cup against Chaves, score 1-1. After a first half, Hernani opened the score in the 74th minute, but the advantage on the table reached only nine minutes. Joining the field in the 72nd minute, Hernani was at first. Previously, the 27-year-old striker had only ten minutes of defeat in Belenenses this season. Thus, for the "dragons" was the second wrong step made in the last three games after defeating Guimaraes in the championship, 2-3 score. The last direct confrontation, disputed in 2015 in a friendly environment, ended with undecided, 0-0. The two bands met in the Champions League in 2008. Then, in the quarter-finals of the competition, Schalke set himself in the first hand with a score of 1-0, but yielded the same score. Schalke would eventually qualify after the penalty shootout. Probable teams: Schalke: Ferryman - Nastasic, Naldo, Sane - Rudy, Bentaleb (McKennie / Serdar) - Baba, Caligiuri - Harit - Uth, Embolo FC Porto: Iker Casillas - Alex Telles, Felipe, Militao, Maxi Pereirra - Oliviera, Herrera - Brahimi, Otavio - Aboubakar, Marega
