Juventus and Porto are meeting in the Champions League for the first time in over 20 years, and it’s a tie that promises to entertain. The Italians’ hard-nosed confidence against Porto’s free-wheeling style will smash together in a battle that could prove to be much, much better than many observers expect, and this is absolutely not a tie to overlook.
Juventus vs. Porto 2017 live stream: Time, TV schedule, and how to watch online
Juventus are the favorites, but don’t count out Porto for one second.
Juventus come into the tie the unquestioned favorites, and their limited history against Porto suggests that’s for good reason — in three competitive matches between he two teams, Juventus have won twice and the third game was a draw. But it’s been a long time since the two teams squared off, and they’re completely different now than they were almost a quarter of a century ago.
This Juventus side has the typical hard-nosed defense of many of the great Italian teams, but also an explosive and exploitative attack that can strike at a moment’s notice. Porto have the ability to play a much more open game, but aren’t without defensive quality of their own, and they can still be a significant threat to the Italians if they let their guard down at all.
