The Importance Of Betting Responsibly

3y ago

It’s been a rather tumultuous campaign for Juventus, who aren’t living up to the billing in the Italian Serie A. While many expected them to stroll to another league triumph, the Bianconeri are left languishing in third-place, seven points off the top.

Just like their opposition, FC Porto have been far from their utmost best in the Primeira Liga. In fact, they are not exactly in the running for the league title, given they are miles off table-toppers Sporting CP. For now, they will switch focus to their CL clash against Juventus.

Juventus vs FC Porto Team News

Under the tutelage of the inexperienced Andrea Pirlo, Juventus haven’t been their usual explosive selves, and are even struggling to pull their weight in the domestic league. They are on the verge of relinquishing the Serie A title to either of Inter or AC Milan.

Also, the Bianconeri haven’t had so much success in the Champions League in recent years, failing to progress past the quarterfinal phase in that time. This term, they are in danger of crashing out of Europe as early as in the last-16.

On the road to the Estadio do Dragao last time out, Juventus delivered a shambolic performance, and didn’t deserve to come away from the game with anything substantial. With Ronaldo marked out, the Old Lady’s attack appeared blunt.

Quick-fire starts in both halves saw FC Porto register two goals through Taremi and Marega to fire themselves ahead. Unfortunately for the Portuguese outfit, they conceded an away goal late on, as Chiesa beat Marchesin at his far post.

They were on cloud-9 at the sound of the final whistle as they recorded an emphatic first-leg win over Italian champions, Juventus. But Conceicao will be urging his boys to keep their heads down, given this particular fixture is far from over.

In Juve’s camp, they will be plotting a comeback to see off this resilient Porto side, to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals. Pirlo will be delighted to have seen his talismanic forward Cristiano Ronaldo pass a late fitness test to feature in this upcoming contest.

While the Dragons clinched a comfortable 2-0 victory over Gil Vicente last time out, Juventus made light work of Lazio on the weekend. With both teams heading into this fixture on the back of inspiring victories, we can expect an exciting contest here.

Injured or Suspended Players

Juventus: Paulo Dybala, Giorgio Chiellini, Rodrigo Bentancur and Matthijs de Ligt.
FC Porto: Francisco Meixedo and Chancel Mbemba.

Juventus vs FC Porto Predictions

For all their struggles this term, Juventus have proven to be wonderful on their own turf, stringing positive results in Turin. Also, they have some experienced players in their ranks – ones that aren’t strangers to playing at this level.

Of course, Juve will be on the front foot while Porto will be forced to camp in their own half to protect their first-leg win. Surely, the hosts are winning this match. But will it be enough to get them past the last-16? It’s too soon to say.
