FC Porto – Juventus: 22nd February 2017

FC PORTO

Though in the usual fierce fight for winning the title in Portugal in front of Benfica, Porto previous years is no longer the team that had the power to handle any European powers at the time. “Dragons” have sold over time players of great value, and the sound name in the batch thereof is currently legend Iker Casillas, who, although continue to show the value unquestionable, has moments when his age in turn it has a word to say. Altogether, although will feature a fully effective, the Portuguese will have a really difficult time this double header with Juventus and it’s unlikely they will go further into quarters.

JUVENTUS

Juventus has all the arguments on its side. Allegri’s students comfortably occupy the throne of leadership in Serie A, proving seriousness and maturity in the game, whatever name opponent. With a lot stronger, both in terms of quality and numbers, “bianconeri” can hope to box aces of this competition, considering the opponent approachable that we will face in the knockout phase. Although Allegri will not be available on Barzagli and Chiellini, flawless organization of the “old lady”, but your appetite offense of deadly strikers Dybala and Higuain will definitely improve Italians on mission ‘Estádio do Dragão’.

Probable teams:

Porto (4-1-3-2): Casillas- Pereira, Felipe, Marcano, Telles- Neves- Corona, Andre, Torres- Silva Soares

Juventus (4-2-3-1): Alves Buffon-, Bonucci, Benatia, Asamoah- Khedira, Marchisio- Cuadrado, Dybala, Higuain Pjanic-
