FC Porto hosts Liverpool in round 2 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 28th at Estádio do Dragão (Porto)
FC Porto managed to gain a goalless draw in the first match against Atlético Madrid in Spain, but now the fans will demand a very active game from the Dragons, However, Liverpool is a very strong opponent. In the last game of Primeira Liga, Conceição's men were able to put the squeeze on Gil Vicente thanks to Sergio Oliveira's brilliant free-kick (2-1), but the quality of the game raises big questions. Slow defense with Pepe at the head can concede a lot from the angry Reds.

Liverpool is angry because it was almost constantly ahead in the match against Brentford but invariably missed the advantage, and a 3-3 draw eventually led to the loss of points in the championship. Klopp's team runs very well in the attack and plays intensively, and Mane, Salah, and Firmino are ready to play, but the quality of defense leaves much to be desired. However, it should not prevent the Reds from playing attack first and putting pressure on the opponent.
Porto has invariably lost at home to Liverpool in the Champions League in recent years. Over the past couple of years, Porto has sagged in terms of the strength of the squad and even missed the previous Champions League draw after a defeat to Krasnodar in the qualification. And now the Dragons are lagging behind Sporting and Benfica in the championship. Due to its top three, hard pressure, and incredible speeds, Liverpool should have the maximum advantage. And the visitors are likely to win.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win
