FC Porto vs Juventus FC Prediction

What makes Porto vs Juventus odds interesting one is the fact that the last time these two met on the international stage was during the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 where Juventus claimed two wins. This includes a 2-0 away win and a 1-0 win in front of their home crowd in Italy. Juventus can seal another win as it stands.

Porto have their moments of glory, and they are ready to pull off upsets in the tournament as well as the soccer betting odds market. With Pepe at the helm of the squad and experience playing next to Ronaldo during their time at Real Madrid, he has the tools to close down the forward in this matchup. Considering what our sports betting guides impart with bettors, there’s a chance that FC Porto covers the spread and grabs a surprise game-winner before the final whistle is blown.
