Barcelona vs Porto Prediction: Porto is definitely not to be underestimated

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match which will take place on November 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Barcelona

After a sensational defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in Germany, Barcelona minimally beat Alaves 2:1 at home and drew 1:1 away to Rayo Vallecano after the international break. Before the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona had 9 points and was in first place, having an advantage over the Portuguese in head-to-head meetings. It should be noted that strategically, Barcelona on Tuesday may well be enough, and a draw, in this case, in the sixth round of the Catalans will be enough to defeat the outsider Antwerp with any score. Gavi, who has a knee injury, will not help the Blues on Tuesday.

Porto

Porto has four infirmary players: Wendell, Gabriel Veron, Carmo, and Makino. The participation of veteran Pepe is in doubt. In the 4th round at home field, the Portuguese beat Belgian Antwerp with a score of 2:0, and after that, they got two more victories in the domestic arena over Vitoria in the championship and Montalegre in the Portuguese Cup. Porto is still behind Barcelona in head-to-head meetings, but the Portuguese have an advantage over Shakhtar meetings. However, with the loss in Barcelona, the Portuguese can forget about the first place in the group, given that Barça played against the Belgians in the sixth round. In any case, Porto should not be underestimated, and they are a serious team with a great background.

Expert Betting Tips

Barcelona's recent results suggest that the Catalans are somewhat overrated. They lost to Real Madrid 1:2 and Shakhtar, which, even in the Ukrainian championship, has many problems. And in the last round of the Spanish championship, Barça failed to beat Rayo in Madrid, although they lost to Real Madrid, to whom they had before, and to Girona, their geographical neighbor. We believe that Porto will be able to give a fight to the reigning champion of Spain on Tuesday, and even if they lose, there will be no more than one goal. We will not be surprised if the Portuguese can bring one point from Barcelona. The Portuguese are unlikely to win, but the Dragons are quite capable of a draw.
