Porto take on the visitors Inter in the second leg of UEFA Champions League 1/8-finals. The first leg result: 0-1. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 14th at Estádio do Dragão (Porto).
The "Dragons" are undoubtedly one of the giants of Portuguese football. However, it is already clear that the title is returning to Lisbon, this time to "Benfica", who under Roger Schmidt are demonstrating truly unique statistics. So, now Porto can focus on their performances in the Champions League (not forgetting, of course, at least about the Portuguese Cup - where they have already reached the semi-finals, where they will only play against "Famalicao"). In the main European cup, they have already made it to the knockout stage for the umpteenth time, having managed to overcome "Bayer" and "Atletico" in the autumn. However, even first place in the group did not help them avoid trouble in the draw: they ended up with "Inter". They lost to the Milanese giants, but a 0-1 away defeat is certainly not a disaster.

The "Black and Blues" could well repeat more or less their last season, which was Simone Inzaghi's debut in Milan. Already something has been achieved: Inter won the Italian Super Cup again, and also crushed their neighbors there - 3-0 against the "Rossoneri". In addition, they managed to make it to the semi-final round of the Coppa Italia. And they are more or less stably holding their position in the group of leaders of Serie A. The "Nerazzurri" are only one of the participants in the "peloton", and it is not so easy to beat their competitors, even if "Juventus" was artificially relegated due to a massive penalty. But at the moment, they cannot focus on their domestic arena. They did not come out of a very difficult Champions League group in the autumn (where they took 4 points in confrontations with "Barcelona", taking away their 2nd place and the right to play in the knockout stage), just to finish in the round of 16. However, it was difficult for the Italians at home. Only Lukaku, and that on a rebound, scored the only goal. However, this advantage is enough for them to now play with an understanding that it will be enough just not to lose on the road.
Until this year, all 4 head-to-head matches between the clubs took place in 2021. In the spring, in the knockout stage, "Inter" managed to advance (a draw away, a home win), and in the autumn, in the group, the sides won against each other at their own grounds. Even now, away, Inzaghi's charges will be the favorites of the pair. But they don't need to win - it's important not to lose, and therefore it's desirable not to concede. We recommend betting that the "total goals under 2.5" will be recorded here.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
