The Champions League is Goal No. 1

Juventus against Porto.

A match between two former greats of European football and current losers in their home championships.

I say exes because they are still 4th and 15th in the UEFA rankings . But without significant success from the last euro tournaments.

At the same time, multiple champions of their countries. But at the moment with rather only hypothetical chances for a title.

It turns out that the Champions League is one of the most important tournaments of the season for both Juventus and Porto.

Porto leads with 2: 1 before the rematch!

3 weeks ago there was a surprising 2-1 victory for Porto. I say "surprising" from several points of view.

First of all, this is the Portuguese's first success in a total of 6 clashes with Juventus so far. In which the Italian team has 4 victories.

Second, Porto has a market value almost 3 times less than that of the Bianconeri.

Therefore, you can imagine the difference in the class of players.

Third, in view of what was shown on the field, the victory of the Portuguese in the first match was not very deserved.

As it was due to lack of concentration and individual mistakes of the opponent.

This is especially true for their first goal in the 1st minute.

For which the main credit goes to the midfielder Rodrigo Bentancourt, who is absent for today's match.

Overall, however, the game was dictated by the Juventus team.

Juventus is a very strong host!

The Old Lady is currently in a series of 9 wins from 11 games at home. Moreover, 6 of the last 7 successes have a clean slate.

Before this clash, they beat Lazio 3-1 in an impressive way.

At the same time, they kept some of their main players. Which will now be in good condition.

Dibala will probably be the other more important player than the absent Juventus players.

Forecast for Juventus - Porto

Porto demonstrates a paradox.

Traditionally strong in defense, this season they regularly show weaknesses in the championship and allow goals.

However, in the Champions League they played 5 matches without conceding a goal in the group stage.

I guess that the second match between these teams will develop according to the scenario of the first match.

More than 60% ownership for Juventus. And attempts to counter-attack Porto.

The significant difference, however, will be the lack of individual mistakes for the hosts.

I also assume that they will necessarily look for an early goal. That is, they will most likely score by halftime.

The strategy of the guests in case of a negative result will be changed after the break.

And their more active actions will allow for a new goal for Juventus.

That's enough for my prediction without caring about the real outcome of the meeting. Medium size bet.
