Liverpool Porto betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the UEFA Champions League (Quarter‑finals) after a home win by (3‑1) after extended time and a away loss by (2‑1) against Roma. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got a home win against Boavista by (2‑0). In the last 4 UEFA Champions League away matches Porto has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 8 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 8 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 6 of the last 8 matches for the UEFA Champions League, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 6 matches and have always held on to the lead until the end of the 90'.

FC Porto arrive for this match motivated after a 2-0 home triumph over Boavista, in the game to count for the Portuguese championship: the team's goals were signed by Otávio and Tiquinho Soares. To reach this stage of the Champions League, the visitors eliminated the Italians from Roma. Unlike the opponent of this round, Porto choose to play in a traditional 4-4-2, where the two most advanced players are Marega and Tiquinho Soares. By playing away from home, one guesses that the Portuguese club adopt a more defensive posture, with the aim of not being unbalanced. Coach Sérgio Conceição can not count on Aboubakar due to injury.
