Juventus are shaking like hell under Pirlo, a little more – and they will fly out from Porto
In the first match, the Portuguese club beat the champions of Italy with a minimal margin – 2:1. Turintsy play the second leg at home, which is also not very good. In Serie A, things are not going well yet (the championship, most likely, will be taken by Inter), and in European competitions there is no former margin of safety. inexperienced Andrea Pirlo faced real problems – during the season he has to squeeze the maximum out of a very aged team and constantly postpone restructuring until later.
At Porto, everything is a little simpler. Domestically, you can’t count on the title because of the space gap of Sporting, but in the Champions League there was a chance to crawl into the quarterfinals. At the same time, the team Sergio Conceisau does not strike football flexibility. Here, rather, worked-out mechanisms like reliability work Marega, Pepe, Crowns, Otavio and others.
Juventus, who recently confidently defeated Lazio, will not have Dybals (collateral ligament), Chiellini (fibula) and Bentancura (coronavirus). Cristiano Ronaldo specially gave a rest in the championship of Italy, so that he lit up in the Champions League. Porto will not be able to count on the goalkeeper meihedo and defender Mbemba. Despite the defeat in the first match, Juventus is still considered the pair's favorite, although everything for the Italians could have ended in Portugal, where the opponent played better all 90 minutes and, in certain hands, could win 3-0.
Borussia Dortmund must beat Sevilla
On the one hand, no one expects surprises. Indeed, in the first meeting, Dortmund beat the Sevillians – 3:2. But the account is borderline, and in fact little has changed. Over the weekend, Borussia flew into Bayern again (4: 2), although Holland and made a double at the gate Neuer in 9 minutes. After the change of coach, Borussia sways from side to side: there are no stable results, some of the leaders are injured, and there is simply no point in changing something radically, because in the summer the team will be headed by Marco Rose.
Sevilla, meanwhile, have had a terrible streak – they have lost four in their last five matches. In addition to the defeat from Dortmund, most recently the team Hulen Lopetegi A monstrously flew from Barcelona in the Spain Cup. And on the weekend there was still a defeat from Elche (1: 2). At the same time, the team retains the fourth line in the example and, in general, can focus on the Champions League. What can interfere? Incredible, albeit empty, stadium of “Borussia” + unreal form of Holand.
Borussia has big problems with the composition. Injured Sancho, in question, the appearance Herreir (both have problems with muscles), there is still no Bomer (knee). But Holand escaped a serious injury and is ready to score. “Seville”, unlike the opponent, does not have injured, everyone is ready for the massacre.
