Porto – Inter Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (14.3.2023)

Three weeks ago, Inter outlasted Porto 1-0 at home in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Both teams have played in a shaky form as of late, so we are expecting to see a great battle in the second leg. 

Porto vs. Inter: Initial Situation 

Porto finished the group stage as a top team in Group B with 12 points and a 12:7 goal difference. Inter were second in Group C with ten points and a 10:7 goal difference. 

Porto Stats & Form

After a tough loss against Inter, the Dragons suffered a shocking 2-1 home defeat against Gil Vicente in Liga Portugal. Since then, the Dragons have won two straight contests, outlasting Chaves 3-1 on the road and Estoril 3-2 at home. They’ve recorded nine wins over their previous ten showings at Estadio do Dragao in all competitions. 

Striker Mehdi Taremi leads the way for the Dragons with 22 goals and 12 assists in 38 appearances this season. Otavio (four goals and 11 assists), who’s one of the best midfielders in this Porto team, is suspended for the second leg against Inter, so keep your eyes on Stephen Eustaquio (seven goals and six assists). The 23-year-old forward Evanilson (eight goals and nine dishes) is sidelined with a muscle injury and won’t play Tuesday versus Inter.

Since beating the Dragons in the first leg, the Nerazzurri have suffered a couple of losses while beating Lecce 2-0 at home in Serie A. Last Friday, Inter suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat versus Spezia on the road, playing as surefire 1.40 favorites. The Nerazzurri are winless in three straight outings away from home, tallying just one draw in that stretch. 

Lautaro Martinez is Inter’s leading scorer with 17 goals in 36 matches in all competitions this season. He’s also registered seven assists, while Edin Dzeko has 11 goals and five dishes on his season tally. Nicolo Barella is a key guy in the middle of the park, and he’s accounted for six goals and eight assists thus far.

Inter have won three straight matches over Porto. The Nerazzurri barely outlasted the Dragons 1-0 three weeks ago, as Romelu Lukaku scored the winner in the 86th minute. Porto played the final 15 minutes with ten men because of Otavio’s red card, and the Dragons were outshot 18-10 while keeping the ball at their feet for 43 percent of the time.
