PORTO VS MAN CITY MATCH ANALYSIS
After losing to the visitors in their group opener in Manchester (3-1), Porto have gone on to win their next three matches – twice against Marseille and at home against Olympiakos. They have scored 7 goals in those three games and conceded none, which puts them in second place with 9 points, behind Man City, who are top of the group with the maximum 12 points so far. Both Man City and Porto will progress to the knock-out stage, and this game is most probably going to decide which teams will finish above the other.
Despite their mixed record of 4 defeats in their 9 opening Champions League group games since 2011, and being knocked out of the quarter-final by Lyon(3-1) last time around, City have started the new CL campaign on the front foot. They made a perfect start to their 10th attempt at winning the Champions League after winning all four games so far, scoring ten times in the process and conceding only twice.
After defeating Olympiacos (0-1) in Greece last week, City are unbeaten in their last 14 games in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League (W11 D3). They have now secured progress to the Champions League knockout stages with two games to spare, as they required one point from their match in Piraeus to reach the last-16. Also, a draw on Tuesday ensures they will remain top of Group C.
As for Porto, their place in the Round of 32 has not been confirmed yet. The hosts must hope that Olympiacos fail to beat Marseille for their route into the next round to be secured this week, presuming they do not lose against City. Their form is brilliant at the moment – Porto have won their last five matches in all competitions, scoring eleven and only conceding once. Conceicao's side is surely not going to become complacent at this crucial time in Group C.
Zaidu Sanusi's goal and Sergio Oliveira's penalty put Porto on nine points from four games in Group C against Marseille last week, and Conceicao can field the strongest eleven against City as only Grujic is missing through his sending-off in the last match. Also, midfielder Mateus Uribe was not involved in last week's win over Marseille, but the Colombian should be fit enough to start this match after being given some minutes against Santa Clara.

Man City have won all four of their games in the UEFA Champions League this season, keeping a clean sheet in the last three, and after a series of injuries and positive COVID-19 tests at the start of the campaign, Guardiola can now count on the almost full squad.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
