Porto host Inter Milan on Tuesday for the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie and we have put together a comprehensive preview as the home side look to overturn a 1-0 loss after the first leg.
Porto vs Inter Milan Preview
These sides met two weeks ago in the first leg, where Inter came out 1-0 winners at the San Siro thanks to a late Romelu Lukaku winner that gave the Italian’s an advantage going into the second leg.
Porto were also reduced to 10 men in their first leg with Inter and winger Otavio is set to miss out on the second leg after picking up two yellow cards at the San Siro.
Although they lost in their last Champions League match, the Portuguese giants have won two out of their three league games since the loss in Italy and look to be back in good form going into the second leg.
Inter on the other hand have struggled in Serie A since their victory over Porto at the end of February, with the Italian’s losing to both Bologna and Spezia giving Porto some hope coming into the vital second leg clash.

Porto Vs Inter Milan Predictions
Although Inter have struggled for form recently with two losses in their last three, we are confident that the Italian’s can get the job done away from home against a determined Porto side.
Even without Otavio Porto will throw everything they have at this second leg and the game will certainly go right down to the wire even though we think Inter will just edge it.
Our prediction – Inter Milan to qualify @ 3/10
