Porto v Juventus: Juventus to win and Ronaldo to score

I’m going to go with Juventus to win this in a close game. This will come as a welcome distraction to both teams, who are underperforming recently on the domestic stage. Porto have drawn their last four matches in all competitions and they’ve conceded a couple of late goals. They’ve also had some red cards so mentally they might be struggling at the moment.

Porto impressed at home in the group stages, keeping five clean sheets. However, this tie will be much tougher than the group stage matches.

Things aren’t going too well for Juventus domestically but they usually step it up in the Champions League. They obviously have Cristiano Ronaldo to lean on.

If Juventus are going to win, you’d imagine Ronaldo will score. I think they will be too strong for Porto and I’m going for a Juventus win.

Sevilla v Borussia Dortmund: Sevilla to win and BTTS

I like the price of Sevilla to win this one. They’ve won nine games in a row in all competitions and they only conceded one in those matches. The one defeat in their last 19 matches came against Atletico Madrid, who lead La Liga. Dortmund, meanwhile, are struggling for form in the Bundesliga this season, despite all the talent they have. They’re in a fight to secure Champions League football for next season and they currently sit outside of the top four.

Dortmund did well in the group stage but they’re struggling at the moment. They’ve only won one in their last six and conceded 12 in that spell. The German side have a long injury list so I think the home team will win this. Dortmund can always score so I’m going to go for Sevilla to win and BTTS.
