The POT vs ROM Dream Match Preview

Porto were unbeaten in 4 matches against Roma before the 1st leg loss in Italy.  The 2-1 loss away from home has put the onus on Porto to assert themselves in the second leg at home and win the tie. Porto looked lifeless before their striker Adrian netted a crucial goal late in the first leg to bring them from the dead. The significance of the away goal for Porto cannot be overstated as they could go through with a 1-0 win at home.

Roma, on the other hand, must be distraught to concede that late goal at home. The Italians would have loved to take a 2-goal lead to Estadio do Drogo. However, they would certainly be confident in their ability to beat Porto over 90 minutes. Roma shocked many last time when they knocked Barcelona out to reach semi-finals of the Champions League. Even though they aren’t fancied to repeat that feat this time around, they would still seek to go as far as they can.
