FC Porto - Juventus Prediction, Picks and Tips

Porto comes chaining a streak of 13 consecutive games without losing in Primeira Liga (9 wins and 4 draws), an excellent unbeaten dynamic in which they have drawn both at home (2-2 vs Boavista / 1-1 vs Benfica) and away (2-2 vs Sporting Braga / 0-0 vs Belenenses), and in which they have beaten Rio Ave (2-0), Farense (0-1), Famalicao (1-4), Moreirense ( 3-0), Gumaraes (2-3), Nacional (2-0), Tondela (4-3), Santa Clara (0-1) and Portimonense (3-1). In spite of everything, these results keep him 7 points behind the leadership of Sporting Lisbon. As for the Champions League, it comes from qualifying as 2nd behind Manchester City that was intractable throughout the Group Stage and only beat them by 3 points. So they go into this tie knowing that they need to win without conceding to have a real chance of qualifying, similar to how Lyon did last season. Regarding the line-up, FC Porto will have the casualties of Nanu [indeterminate injury], Iván Marcano and Mouhamed Mbaye [both with a torn anterior cruciate ligament].

Juventus has just finished losing a streak of 3 consecutive victories in Serie A, a defeat on the last day against Napoli (1-0) that slows down a dynamic in which they had beaten Roma (2-0), Sampdoria (0-2) and Bologna (2-0). They had previously lost to Inter (2-0) after they had beaten Sassuolo (3-1), Milan (1-3) and Udinese (4-1). These results keep him in Champions League positions but 8 points away from Inter's leadership (this one with one more game). As for the Champions League, they have been classified as 1st in the group after beating Barcelona on the last day of the Group Stage. In this case, they will try not to repeat last season's tie against Lyon in which they lost away from home in the first leg and then failed to overcome the result in the second leg. Therefore, he will be looking to achieve victory or at least draw but making sure to score an away goal. As for the line-up, Juventus will have Paulo Dybala [knee injury] removed; as well as the doubts of Aaron Ramsey and Arthur Melo [both with undetermined discomfort].
