Match forecast
FC Porto need nothing less than a win in order to book a ticket to the knockout stage of the competition. Their chances of qualifying for the last 16 are quite high, considering the fact that they are facing a Leicester City side that could be without the likes of Islam Slimani, Robert Huth and Kasper Schmeichel.
Secondly, Porto’s home ground advantage could be their greatest strength in this fixture. With the Foxes already qualified, manager Claudio Ranieri may want to rest some of his key players for the knockout phase, and this is yet another factor that could give the Portuguese outfit three important points.
Lastly, the hosts have lost only three of their last 16 home matches against English clubs. This should give them the much-needed confidence to get all the three points in this match.
