FC Porto vs Schalke Prediction & Betting tips
In order to achieve a victory that will allow him to win the UEFA Champions League group D, on Wednesday the Portuguese champion FC Oporto jumps to the Gramado Stadium Do Dragao to receive the visit of the German cast Schalke 04.
FC Porto:
Those led by Sergio Conceicao are at an excellent time, so the Dragons come to beat Belenenses 2-0 in the fourth round of the Taca de Portugal and thus added a streak of eight consecutive victories.
Things are very positive for FC Porto in every way, so for the Primeira Liga add three consecutive victories that place him in first place with 24 points, two points more than his escort Sporting Lisbon, come to qualify for the next round of the Taca of Portugal and not to mention in the UEFA Champions League where they are unbeaten in their four games where the last three were victories and have shown their power in offense especially in their last two games against Lokomotiv Moscow to whom they endorsed a global of 7 -two.
With these results the Dragons are placed in the first place of the group with 10 points, two points more than the second Schalke 04 and six points more than Galatasaray so they already assured their presence in the next stage of the competition, but the Portuguese cast is not satisfied with it and aspires to add a win this Wednesday to win the group and for this is based on what his top scorer can do as Moussa Marega who last weekend rested.
Schalke 04:
Meanwhile, those led by Domenico Tedesco come with some confidence in this game after their 5-2 victory against newly promoted Nuremberg, with that result the Die Konigsblauen left behind a streak of two consecutive defeats.
In addition to bringing confidence for what will be the final straight of the UEFA Champions League, is that the victory allows four points away from the red zone and that also gives tranquility and now aspire to go to Portugal in search of a good result to ensure the second box of the group that is what the German team aspires at the moment, although of course they are also aware that they close the group stage at home to Lokomotiv Moscow and a victory against the Russians would give them the classification, so they can not despair if the results of this Wednesday are not given in favor.
The game on Wednesday will be the fourth straight match and for now the numbers have been even, and so the first time they played was in the quarterfinals of the Champions League of the 2008/09 season, in a series that won Schalke 04 via penalties after each one will win their game 1-0 at home.
While the last game was for the current edition 2018/19 and ended with a draw at one goal, so FC Oporto wants to take advantage of its moment to take advantage.
