Milan host Porto in a key Group B clash in the Champions League at the San Siro. The hosts are at the bottom of the table with three losses in a row while the visitors have earned four points in their three games and sit third. Milan come into the game with three wins in a row and are at second place in Serie A. While the side’s domestic run has been laudable, they have struggled in the Champions League. They have lost to Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Porto themselves in the campaign, and are in dire need of the three points to stay alive in the competition. Milan’s lack of wins in the Champions League can be attributed to their questionable performance in defence in Serie A as well. They have just kept a single clean sheet in their last eight matches and also have had over 2.5 goals in six out of their last eight fixtures.

Porto, meanwhile, are in a much better place as far as the Champions League run is concerned. They are at top in the Portuguese Primeira Liga as well. Porto come into the game with a dominating 4-1 win over Boavista. They began their Champions League campaign with a goalless draw with Atletico Madrid before a loss at home to Liverpool with a 5-1 scoreline. Porto’s only win so far was against Milan with a slender 1-0 scoreline. Porto have been defensively far more resilient than Milan in comparison, but the side also has not managed to keep a clean sheet in their last three matches. They also have had over 2.5 goals in six out of their last eight fixtures.
