Porto takes the German champion Bayern Munich at "Estadio do Dragao" in the first match of the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The two teams met in the same stage of the tournament 15 years ago, when the Bavarian giants reached the final success with a total score of 3:2. Now the Germans are again considered as favorites, but the Portuguese have shown in previous meetings that will not surrender easily. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 4.33 for a home win, with a draw at 3.40 and 2.00 for the victory of the guests. The two teams reached this stage of the race categorically. The Portuguese did not have much problems in the second round, eliminating the Swiss champion Basel with a total score of 5:1. Bavarian giants qualified for the quarterfinals after the defeat over Shakhtar Donetsk with 7:0.
Porto won the last two games in the Portuguese championship, as consecutively were outplayed Estoril with 5:0 and Rio Ave with 3:1. The team is a great performer in front of its fans, as in the last seven games at home has seven wins without conceding a goal in the net. The team led by the Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui is unbeaten in the last ten games in the Champions League. Ivan Marcano misses the game due to penalty while Cristian Tello and scorer Jackson Martinez are questionable. In the absence of the last, the attack will be led by Vincent Aboubakar. Yacine Brahimi, Casemiro, Oliver Torres and Ricardo Quaresma will be available, as they have become major figures in the composition of Porto and will be expected to gain a good tournament result adviced by fixedfootballtips.com before the second leg in Germany.
Bayern comes to this match after classical victory over the weekend with 3: 0 over Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga. "Bavarians" are unbeaten away from home in seven consecutive games, as they have conceded only one goal. Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso is back in the ranks of Bayern Munich after the penalty, but Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez and David Alaba are out due to injuries. Robert Lewandowski with Mario Gotze and Thomas Mueller is most likely to start up in front. The defender Jerome Boeteng, who missed the last game of the German champion is expected to return in the starting eleven.
Prediction: X @ 3.40 at bet365
