Porto vs Atletico Madrid
Uefa Champions League, Wednesday 20h45
Atletico are on a terible 7 games-run without winning. That is very dangerous for coach Abel Resino. He has such quality in attack in Forlan and Aguero, Simao and Maxi Rodriguez, but it seems they cannot block opposition attacks at the moment.
Porto has ousted Atletico in last year's first knock-out round after 2 draws. It finished 2-2 in Spain and 0-0 in Portugal. Porto has not lost in its last 5 games against Spanish opposition, 4 being draws and a win. Porto has only won 2 of the last 15 games against Spanish opposition in the European Cups. Atletico has not lost in its last 9 games in this competition. While Porto has not scored in 3 of its last 4 matches.
Porto has virtually no absentees while Atletico will have to do without Asenjo, Raul Garcia, Ignacio Camacho, Pernia and Valera.
I tip Porto to win, at 9/10.
