FC PORTO VS JUVENTUS PREDICTION
Italian champions Juventus topped Group G ahead of Barcelona with 15 points from their six games and their reward is a trip to Porto in this round of 16 first leg tie. Andrea Pirlo’s men scored 14 goals over the course of those six matches and the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata will need to show the same sort of free-scoring form here vs a side who have racked up five consecutive Champions League clean sheets including most recently against Premier League leaders Man City. Knowing that not conceding an away goal could be crucial to their hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals, Porto are likely to set up cautiously and not take any unnecessary risks in pushing extra bodies forward despite home advantage, knowing that the likes of Ronaldo could punish them. With that in mind, under 2.5 goals scored should be considered in this one.
