Advance
Juventus’ 2-1 loss at Porto in the first leg of the round of 16 was a loss for them.
Serie A champions need to be guided to look perfect. A 1-0 victory was enough to qualify for the quarterfinals.
However, of course, coach Andrea Pirlo will not take that risk and will instruct his team to exert their full strength and anticipate possible counterattacks from Porto.
For this reason, the Bianconeri have a positive capital by winning two previous home games in the Champions League against Porto, namely winning 3-1 in October 2001 and 1-0 in March 2017, the last being the Second leg of the round of 16 in the 2016/17 Edition.
That record is reinforced by the fact that Porto have yet to win their last 13 away games in the knockout stages of the Champions League. The last time they won was in the 2003/04 season with a 1-0 victory over Deportivo de La Coruña in the semi-finals.
But Juve must also be cautious, since they were eliminated in five of the last six editions of the knockout phase of the Champions League after losing in the first leg, except for the round of 16 of 2018/19 against Atlético de Madrid.
Porto arrived in Turin with good capital, beating Gil Vicente 2-0 in the Primeira Liga continued last week. It’s just that they are still 10 points behind the leader, Sporting CP.
Juventus are also on a positive trend, ready to host the Portuguese giants after winning a 3-1 comeback as Lazio visited Serie A at the weekend.
Prediction: Juventus 2-0 Porto
