The game will be played at the Do Dragao Stadium, this Tuesday, December 7, at 3:00 p.m.
Porto and Atlético de Madrid will meet this Tuesday, at 3:00 p.m., at the Dragao stadium, in search of getting the second place in the round of 16 of the Champions League in group B.
The Portuguese team remains in the qualifying zone with five points, only one above the Spanish team, which was relegated to last place after falling to AC Milan, which is also third with four points. Meanwhile, Liverpool is the undisputed leader and the team already classified.
Due to the narrow margin of points between the three teams, the duel at the Estadio do Dragao is shaping up to be a final for both the Portuguese and the Spanish.
Atlético de Madrid have to win and hope that AC Milan doesn’t do it to qualify. Porto only needs a victory to forget about the other result, although if they tie they will have to wait for the Italian team to not win either.
However, the Spanish and Portuguese will face the match living different moments in their respective leagues, which could lead to a possible winner in the previous match.
Atlético comes to the meeting full of doubts about their game, after their 2-1 defeat against Mallorca on Saturday at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium, which relegated him to fifth place in LaLiga.
At the irregular moment of the rojiblanco team the injuries of three of his four centers available for the game are added. The strategist Diego Simeone will not be able to count on the Brazilian Felipe, due to suspension, or Stefan Savic and José María Giménez, due to injury.
Instead, winger Yannick Carrasco will be available, recovered from some muscular discomfort, to help Luis Suárez and Antoine Griezmann in attack.
For his part, Porto co-leads its domestic championship with Sporting Lisboa and reaches the match after thrashing 3-0 to Portimonense last weekend.
“It is an important game and we have to continue our story and how FC Porto has performed with me in the Champions League,” said Porto coach Sergio Conceiçao after that victory, at the commitment against Atlético de Madrid.
And is that since the Portuguese coach took over the team in the 2017/2018 season, Porto has been in all the round of 16 except in the 2019/2020 campaign.
