Wednesday, at 20:00 FC Porto will receive the visit of the Italians from AS Roma in a match for the return of UEFA Champions League finalists. The match will take place on “Estadio do Dragao” in Porto.
We witnessed a balanced and cautious run of the tournament hosts on both sides for three quarters of the match. The second half of the second half broke out with a double sensation of the young Zaniolo, and just 3 minutes after, Adrian signed the “gold” for FC Porto, a goal that seriously keeps the champion en-titres of Portugal for a place in the quarter.
Now, the problem data is changing for the “infernal” return on “Estadio do Dragao”. Encouraged by a frenetic audience, Porto has nothing to lose and will attack from the very first minute, trying to intimidate the opponent. It remains to be seen which of the two combatants will be able to take advantage of the psychic look as much as possible. Rome comes after a weekend humiliation in the “Derby della Capitale” against Lazio (0-3). On the other side, Porto lost the first place in Portugal, even defeating against Benfica (1-2). Two teams injured by internal derby, minimum Roma advantage, potentially offensive: giant.
Probable teams:
FC Porto (4-4-2): Casillas- Militao, Felipe, Pepe, Telles-Corona, Pereira, Herrera, Brahimi-Marega, Soares
AS Roma (4-3-3): Olsen – Florenzi, Manolas, Kolarov – Cristante, De Rossi, Pellegrini – Zaniolo, Dzeko, El Shaarawy
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a spectacular hostile run. Analyzing the qualification situation after that 2-1 tour in favor of Rome, we believe the hosts will attack from the start, trying to take full advantage of the public’s contribution, but also the defensive defenses of the Italians. In fact, it would be no surprise to witness further extensions to decide the name of the qualified team further, because, to the same extent that we believe that Porto is capable of imposing, we can not underestimate the offensive force of Di Francesco’s students .
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,58
