Porto face Roma at Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday, March 6. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Porto return home on Wednesday, looking to come from behind to eliminate Roma from the Champions League. Roma took to the first game in their round of 16 draw 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico. However, Porto’s late away goal could be the difference on Wednesday.
A 1-0 victory would be enough for Porto to advance to the quarterfinal for the first time since 2015. However, if Roma are able to score an away goal, the road to the quarterfinal will get more difficult for the Dragons. In all competitions this season, Porto have lost only once at home, losing in penalties to Sporting in the Allianz Cup. The Dragons enter Wednesday’s game coming off a loss in their last game. Porto fell two points Benfica in the title race after losing 2-1 over the weekend. The Dragons will lean on their front two of Moussa Marega and Tiquinho Soares to score the needed goal to advance to the quarterfinal. Marega and Soares have both scored 16 goals in all competitions this season.
A draw will be enough for Roma to advance to the quarterfinal. The Italian capital club will look for another strong performance from Nicolo Zaniolo in the second leg. In the first leg, the 19-year-old scored twice. Roma had been rolling in Serie A, moving from 10th to fifth in the table after picking up 20 of 24 points. However, the capital club also enter Wednesday’s game off of a loss. Roma were convincingly beaten in the Rome derby, losing 3-0 to Lazio. The health of center-back Konstantinos Manolas could play a large role in the game. The Greek center-back is Roma’s best defender but has missed two of the last four games with injuries.
