#6 Roma vs Porto

Ad

The group D winners-Porto meet the group G runners-up, Romo in the round of 16. While the Portuguese club eased their way through to the knockout phase, the Italians scratched and clawed to reach the last 16.

Ad

Porto has been one of the most impressive sides of the tournament, winning 5 and drawing 1 in the group stage while Roma won 3 and lost 3 and merely looked like favourites for the prestigious trophy.

The Italian outfit have a pretty impressive squad and the club from Rome had a commendable performance in the previous edition, where they defeated Barcelona in a thrilling encounter and did come inches close to beating Liverpool in the semi-final.

Ad

This fixture might turn out to be a close one but Porto are heads-on favourites to proceed. This Porto side has an energetic squad and it won't be wrong to expect them to replicate the heroics of 2004 when the side from Portugal became the champions of Europe.

Prediction: Porto to reach the quarterfinals of this edition
