In the next match of the 3rd round of the Champions League group stage, Porto and Bayer will meet. Will the hosts score the first points?
Porto
In the first round, Porto was close to scoring the first points, because in the away match with Atletico Madrid they managed to equalize the score in the sixth compensated minute, but eventually lost, conceding the second goal five minutes later (1-2). And in the second round, the Dragons had no chance of a positive result at all, or even a draw, as they lost on their own field to Brugge with a painful 0-4 result.
"Bayer"
"Bayer" fails the start of the new Bundesliga season, having only one victory after eight rounds, and in the last match it suffered its fifth defeat, losing 0-4 to Bayern. As for the Champions League group stage, Bayer are doing much better in it - one win with one loss. The Leverkusen team remained without points in the first round, losing 0-1 to Brugge, and scored the first three points in the second round, beating Atletico 2-0.
Statistics and figures:
- Porto lost in two rounds with a total score of 1-6;
- Bayer lost in the first round and won in the second;
- Bayer has not lost to Porto yet - 2 wins and a draw.
Forecast
Both teams need points to continue fighting for the playoff zone, but for Porto the match is more important, because it has two losses in two games. I think that the Portuguese club will be able to at least not lose.
