The game
Nef elbow with Benfica for the title in the Liga Nos, the Dragons nourish – like their rival – great ambitions in the Champions League. Second in the H group behind Leicester, the Dragons have inherited Juve, with a return match in Turin. A glistening prospect for the men of Nuno Esspirito Santo as the Old Lady excels on her floor this season. Worn by his young André Silva, Oliver Torres or Diogo Jota, Porto would be well maintained an invincibility that persists since April 2016 in Dragão. But it is a monster that comes before him. Reinforced by the arrival of “Pipita” Higuain but also Pjanic, Juve has mostly seen hatched “La Joya” Dybala, and is a great pretender to the title. Unbeaten in a complicated group (Sevilla, Lyon, Zagreb), the Bianconeri debut in Portugal to win. Capable of everything before their audience, will the Dragons stay alive before enjoying the hell of the Juventus Arena?
Probability points Porto Juventus
The Turins remained unbeaten in Group H and won most of their three games away from Turin.
Held twice in Copenhagen (1-1, 0-0), beaten (1-0) in Leicester, Porto did not really impress in the first phase. The Dragons had waited until one last victory (5-0) against Foxes already assured of the first place and therefore little involved.
The Turnois have only been beaten four times in 15 trips this season for 11 wins.
Juve have only been beaten once during their last 11 trips to the Champions League.
Porto Juventus – Our forecast
Porto is supported by a relatively young team, particularly in the midfield, and will have great difficulty in surprising an Italian team that seems stronger than ever. Superior to all lines, the Juve will not lose to the Dragão. Double chance N2.
Prediction: Juventus win
Odds: 2.25
