No doubt about it, Porto have been truly impressive this season, particularly in the Champions League. With a massive return of nine points from their four fixtures, the Blues and Whites sit second in Group C, and are inches away from booking a ticket to the knockout rounds.

To ensure safe passage from the group phases, this Portuguese outfit will need to pull off an early Christmas miracle to upset Man City in this fixture. Count on Porto to deliver a five-star performance here, to give themselves a fighting chance.

FC Porto vs Manchester City Team News

Having plain-sailed through to the top of the Primeira Liga last season, Porto clinched the title to snatch it from the palms of archrivals Benfica. They weren’t always assured of the triumph, and could easily have given away their chance of success.

However, consistency and resilience helped them on the way, as Porto cruised to their 29^th Primeira Liga title. With another domestic campaign already underway, the Dragons will have their sights set on a repeat of the previous term’s exploits.

Unfortunately, Conceicao’s men have been slow off the blocks this season, with only 16 points to their name. Occupying second-place on the log, the Blue and Whites are a whopping six points adrift table-toppers Sporting CF, after only eight games.

Perhaps, Porto’s unconvincing displays on the domestic front can be attributed to their focus being split between the Primeira Liga and Champions League. These ones look very determined to embark on a good run in Europe this time around.

Last seen in CL action against Marseille last week, the Dragons were made to bend over backwards to deliver all three points. Even with only ten men on the pitch, Conceicao’s charges managed to post a routine 2-0 win on the board.

Now, they are on the verge of progressing through Group C, and a point will be more than enough to confirm their place in the next round. Surely, they will have their work cut-out against English giants Manchester City, who are leading the way in the section.

Showing utter ruthlessness so far in the competition, Man City have emerged victorious in all their four games to sit atop the standings. Also, the Citizens have already booked a spot in the CL Round-of-16, leaving them with nothing much to play for here.

Following a slow start to their Premier League campaign, City are looking a much better side now, even recording a massive 5-0 victory over Burnley on the weekend. With that emphatic win in the bag, you bet the Sky Blues will be buzzing ahead of this encounter.

Injured or Suspended Players

FC Porto: Ivan Marcano, Mouhamed Mbaye and Pepe.

FC Porto vs Man City Predictions

A top European side, Porto have proven to be no pushovers this season. Since their collapse in the opening CL fixture against this same Man City side, the Dragons have been on a winning run – three games on the bounce.

Now, they must attempt extending that streak with a positive result here. However, it will be a herculean task for this Portuguese outfit to topple Guardiola’s side – we just cannot see that happening. Hence, we are backing Man City to safely deliver the three points. (Away Win)
