Porto are currently second in the Portuguese Primeira while Juventus are on top in Serie A.

One of the major talking points of this clash will be about the goalkeepers. Juventus has the legendary Gianluigi Buffon between the sticks while former Real Madrid keeper Iker Casillas will be in goal for Porto.

The two clubs have met on three previous occasions in European competitions. Juventus have the edge having won two of these encounters while drawing the third.

21-year-old striker André Silva is Porto’s main source of goals. Juventus meanwhile has a potent offense led by Gonzalo Higuain and Mario Mandzukic.

Juventus are clear favorites to progress to the quarterfinals.
