Liverpool hosts FC Porto in round 5 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 24th at Anfield (Liverpool)
Liverpool made a unique achievement — two rounds before the end of the group stage of the Champions League, the team locked up a spot in the 1/8 finals. Now Jurgen Klopp can take the liberty to rotate the squad. And the Reds will try to catch up with Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premier League. All the results of Liverpool in the current Champions League are as follows: four victories in four matches with a goal difference of 13-5. In all four games, the Reds scored at least two goals against their opponents. In the last 24 home matches in the Champions League, Liverpool suffered only one defeat, gaining 17 victories and six draws.

For now, FC Porto is on the second line in the group standings. Still, the Dragons are not favorites to take this 2nd place. Let me remind you that they have five points. The gap from the 3rd Atletico Madrid is only one point. Conceicao's players have the lowest production in the quartet — only three goals scored (with six conceded). In the last five away games in the Champions League, the Portuguese club suffered only one defeat and gained two wins and two draws. Three out of four matches in the current Champions League have ended with Under 2.5 goals scored. High production was recorded only in the first game with Liverpool (the Reds won 1-5).
Liverpool and Porto have already played nine head-to-head matches. The Reds won six times, and three games ended in draws. Six of Liverpool's last seven home games in the Champions League ended with “Both teams to score — no”. With all due respect to the visitors, I strongly doubt that they will go back to Portugal without conceding 3-4 goals in their net. Despite staffing problems, Klopp's team is very strong. The recent Premier League match against Arsenal (4-0) confirmed this fact. The only thing that can help the Dragons avoid thumping is the rotation of Liverpool's lineup. Considering that the Reds have already guaranteed themselves the 1st place, the German coach will certainly give the opportunity to players from the nearest reserve. But I bet that the hosts will score more than once.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to score over 1.5 goals
