Barcelona vs FC Porto 28.11.2023 Prediction: UEFA Champions League

Match Overview

Giants FC Barcelona host FC Porto in a match in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. While the home team appear to be much stronger at home given how well they have done here, the visiting side are no minnows, and they are expected to put in a solid defensive shift. Barcelona might end up being a tad too pushy when it comes to attack.

Key Highlights 

Barcelona have won the previous 2 matches against FC Porto. This means that the visiting side do not really come into this game with a massive advantage on their hands. They will want to make sure that they do not give Barcelona any leads early on in the game, and force them to come out of their comfort zone and play counter-attacking football.

Injury Report

Marc-Andre ter Stegen is doubtful for Barcelona in this game whereas Gavi is out for quite some time now. Wendell, Samuel and Ivan Marcao, on the other hand, are some big absentees for FC Porto.

Prediction

We expect Barcelona to either win this game or draw it with FC Porto. The home team have a big advantage over their opponents given that they had won the reverse fixture played earlier this year as well. Porto, for their part, rely heavily on their midfielders and will want to maintain this advantage for the better part of this game. However, the home team are the favourites.
