The Match Is Over. Score:
2-1 (3-1)
FC Porto v AS Roma Predictions for Wednesday's CL Round of 16 second leg at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto. The Portuguese champions take on Roma following a tense first-leg from which Roma have a 2-1 lead, but any goal in Porto could turn this tie around. Read on for our betting analysis ahead of this clash.
That goal could play a crucial part in keeping the Dragons above water here, as they only need to score a single goal - what they have done in every home outing this season - and try to keep the Italians clear of their goal.
Despite going down 1-2 home to Benfica at the weekend, which was only the second time they had lost at home all season, Porto are a solid side able to impose enough threat on a travelling Roma who have conceded 3.0 average goals in their last five trips, including a crushing 7-1 loss at Fiorentina and most recently 3-0 away to Lazio.
CL form is indifferent too, with Roma losing seven of their last 15 games (W8, L7), and winning just once in their last eight CL away days (W1, D1, L6). That said, Roma have won 26 of the 30 European ties in which they have won the home first leg.
AS Roma (4-3-3): Olsen; Kolarov, Fazio, Manolas, Florenzi; Pellegrini, Rossi, Cristante; Shaarawy. Dzeko, Zaniolo.
AS Roma: Kostas Manolas.
