FC Porto vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting tips
On Wednesday evening at 20:00, in group H of the UEFA Champions League, round 2, the Dragao stadium will host the match between FC Porto and Barcelona. The two teams are equal in points after the first round, each managing a victory in the first match. The most recent confrontation between the two teams took place some time ago, more precisely in 2011, in the European Super Cup, where Barcelona won 2-0. In total, there were eight direct confrontations between the two teams, five victories being on the side of Barcelona and three on the side of FC Porto.
FC Porto:
FC Porto started the new season well in the UEFA Champions League groups, achieving an important victory in the first match, 3-1 away to Shakhtar Donetsk and is now the favorite in second place, having hopes even for first place in the group if you managed two good results with Barcelona. Before this evening’s confrontation, FC Porto had a very difficult match in the championship as well, where they lost the debut against Benfica 1-0 and after seven rounds they are in 3rd place in the ranking in Portugal. The next match of FC Porto will be in just four days in the championship, at home against Portimonense.
Barcelona:
On the other hand, Barcelona kept a clean sheet from the first match in the UEFA Champions League groups, achieving a 5-0 victory at home against the debutant in this competition, Antwerp, the Belgian champion from last season. Barcelona starts with the first chance in this group H to occupy the first place, but it needs good consecutive matches with Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk. Before the confrontation with Porto, Barcelona also had a difficult match at home, in the company of Sevilla, the team they defeated 1-0 thanks to Sergio Ramos’ own goal. For Barcelona, the next match will be away in LaLiga, against Granada.
