Porto Preview – Can Porto bounce back?
Porto were denied a third win on the trot in all competitions on the weekend when they were handed a 3-2 defeat away from home at Pacos Ferreira in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, following recent back-to-back wins against Gil Vicente and Olympiakos.
Matchday 1 in the Champions League ended in a heavy 3-1 loss away from home at Manchester City but Tuesday night’s hosts bounced back with the aforementioned win over Olympiakos and they’ll be keen to make it back-to-back wins against Marseille which could place them in a favourable position alongside Manchester City.
Form and results on home turf at their Estádio Do Dragão have been impressive with Porto winning eight of their last nine matches in all competitions, while the hosts have also won five of their last seven ties in the Champions League so Porto will be confident of returning to winning ways here.
Marseille Preview – Can Marseille get off the mark?
Tuesday night’s visitors, Marseille, find themselves up against it when they make their way to Porto for this Matchday 3 clash having lost both of their opening matches in the group stage of this season’s Champions League.
Losses to Olympiakos 1-0 away from home and a 3-0 loss at home to Manchester City have dumped Marseille to bottom of Group C and a third consecutive loss at Porto could virtually end Marseille’s ambitions of a top two finish in the group.
History also appears to be against Marseille here as the visitors have lost their last 11 Champions League ties on the trot overall while they’ve also lost their last six away ties on the trot, failing to score in four of these last six matches along with conceding 2 goals in five of these last six as well.
