Porto vs Roma Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

Prediction published on 03/03/2019, 11:36  by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions

Porto fell 1 – 2 at home to Benfica in the Portuguese Premier League and in the process dropped to second place on the log while Roma were 0 – 3 losers in the derby of Rome against Lazio and in the process lost crucial ground in their chase for a Champions League place next season. Roma head to this clash with a slim lead, having won the first leg 2 – 1 at home and they will have to work hard to secure their place in the next round especially noting that this season, Porto have won each of their home matches in the competition. While they have managed just one clean sheet at home in the Champions League this season, Porto have managed eight goals in the three matches and Roma will have to be very good defensively to stop them. With just one win away from home in the last eight Champions League matches, Roma are not in the best position going to this match. In the eight away games, the Italians have picked six losses. Roma badly need a clean sheet in this game but they don’t inspire a lot of confidence that they will achieve this; their last 31 away matches in the Champions League have yielded no clean sheet for them. The two sides have met three times in history, all in the Champions League and each side has one win, with the other game ending in a draw.
