On Tuesday, Porto welcome Atletico Madrid to Estadio do Dragao in the final game of the Champions League group stage. What to expect from the teams? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
FC Porto
PortugalPorto were one of the favourites in Group B, but the team had a slow start to their Champions League campaign. After losing to Atletico Madrid (1:2) and Club Brugge (0:4), the Dragons were in a very difficult position. But Sergio Conceicao's men rallied and beat Bayer Leverkusen twice (2:0 and 3:0). The turning point was Porto's the home game against Bayer - Leverkusen goals were disallowed and they didn't score a penalty.
The Dragons have secured their qualification for the playoffs in the previous match - they avenged their defeat to Club Brugge by beating the Belgians with a crushing score of 4:0.
Atletico Madrid
SpainAtletico Madrid were the favourites in Group B, but Diego Simeone's team had a very disappointing performance. After a victory over Porto (2:1), the Spanish side suffered defeats to Bayer and Club Brugge with the same score of 0:2. Atletico have five points to their name and sit in 3rd place with no chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
Simeone's men are not guaranteed to get into the Europa league knockouts, either - Bayer Leverkusen are trailing Los Colchoneros by one points and their victory in the last game can leave Atletico in last place. In La Liga, the team is in 3rd place. Last weekend, Atletico were upset by Cadiz (2:3).
