Juventus vs Porto preview:
Juventus will play hosts to FC Porto at the Allianz Stadium, hoping to overturn a first leg deficit to progress to the quarter-finals.
Juventus reached the Champions League Round of 16 by topping Group G ahead of Barcelona. Their fortunes in domestic football, though, have not been as positive, as the Bianconeri have been lagging a fair bit behind the two Milan clubs in Serie A all through the season. However, a couple of important wins over Spezia and Lazio would have buoyed Andrea Pirlo & co. ahead of the midweek tie.
FC Porto, too, won their most recent game, beating Gil Vicente 2-0 in the Primeira Liga, where they are 10 points behind leaders Sporting Lisbon. As far as the Champions League is concerned, Sergio Conceicao’s men finished runners-up behind Manchester City in Group C to set up the Round of 16 date with Juventus.
The first leg, played at Estadio do Dragao, saw Porto eke out a narrow 2-1 win over Juventus.

The Bianconeri have won four of their six games, with Porto’s 2-1 win in February being the first time the Portuguese side have defeated the Old Lady.
The Dragoes have a terrible record in Italy, losing eight and drawing three of their 15 games.
