Storylines
Porto: The team is coming off a loss at home to rival Benfica without resting many key players, perhaps overlooking them. Now the focus shifts to UCL, where a 1-0 win at home will be enough to advance. If Roma gets a goal, Porto will be forced to score two.
Roma: Boy are they really backing into this one. Roma just got destroyed by Lazio 3-0 last weekend and will have to quickly recover. They did rest some key players, especially in the middle. After making the UCL semis last season. they are hungry for more and we should see guys like Diego Perotti and Steven Nzonzi slide into the starting XI to add some muscle on the road.
Porto vs. Roma prediction
Roma gets a goal in the first half to gain control and settles for a draw that’s enough for them to move on.
