Juventus play hosts to Porto at the Allianz Stadium looking to turn the tie around having lost to them in Portugal. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Porto netted very early into the game, capitalizing on an error by Bentancur right in front of Szczesny’s goal. They netted again, only a minute into the restart, as Marega was on the bed of a brilliant passing move from the hosts. Chiesa scored Juve’s precious away goal as they once again find themselves down heading into the second leg of a UCL tie. Will Ronaldo once again turn out to be the Old Lady’s saviour?

Feisty encounter on the cards

Cristiano Ronaldo was rested over the weekend as Juventus took on Lazio at the Allianz Stadium. It was Morata who was the hero of the day as the Spaniard’s brace helped Pirlo’s side to a brilliant comeback victory to win 3-1. It is then left to see whether they can do exactly that come Tuesday.

Porto just like their opponents look like they wouldn’t be able to defend their league title given that they’re 10 points behind the summit. However, they wouldn’t kind a decent run in the UEFA Champions League and they’re one brilliant performance away from a spot in the last 8. Conceicao’s boys ran out 2-0 winners away at Gil Vicente FC.
