FC Porto vs Liverpool Preview
FC Porto will have been slightly disappointed not to win their Champions League group but they can’t be too displeased with the draw, even though Liverpool are a fantastic side going forward. The Portuguese side are in a three team battle for the Primeira Liga title domestically, with Benfica and Sporting CP challenging. Porto have not been champions since 2012-13.
The team news for Porto is that Ivan Marcano remains a doubt for the match so Reyes and Felipe are likely to remain as the centre back pairing. Paulinho has been rotated with Corona recently, but it is Paulinho that is expected to start here.
Liverpool looked brilliant in the group stage of the Champions League and will be hoping to keep that going after a few months off from European competition. In the Premier League, things have been hit and miss for the Reds. Some weeks they look great, others a bit lacklustre. Qualifying for the Champions League again next season is a must.
Nathaniel Clyne is a long term absentee for Liverpool, while fellow defender Joe Gomez is a doubt for the trip to Portugal. Ragnar Klavan, though unlikely to be first choice anyway, is a doubt too. Jurgen Klopp will have a decision to make both in goal and the midfield area. Simon Mignolet could feature while Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner and Emre Can will be hoping to start.

FC Porto vs Liverpool Predictions
Portuguese side Porto finished runners up in Group G, eventually ending up 4 points behind surprise package Besiktas. Qualification for the knock out stages looked relatively comfortable in the end, as they were 3 points above 3rd placed RB Leipzig.
A win at home to Leipzig and doing the double over Monaco made sure they would reach the last 16. They will feel like they can win this tie too, as Liverpool have looked shaky defensively, mostly in domestic action. Of course, both sides have lifted the famous trophy before.
Before the winter break, Liverpool looked excellent in the Champions League. They have scored at least 3 goals in their last 4 matches in the competition and are actually undefeated in their last 10. Even though The Reds drew 3 of their 6 group matches, they were still very comfortable at the top of Group E, finishing on 12 points.
Astonishingly, Jurgen Klopp’s side racked up two separate 7-0 wins in the group stages of the Champions League against Maribor and Spartak Moscow respectively. It is highly unlikely that the result will be similar here, but the tip is for Liverpool to take a lead back to Anfield.

These two sides have not met in European competition since 2007. It was Rafa Benitez’s Liverpool side that won on that occasion, defeating Porto 4-1 at Anfield in the group stages of the Champions League. Fernando Torres scored twice with Steven Gerrard and Peter Crouch adding further goals. Lisandro Lopez scored for Porto that night.
In the few meetings before that, there were two draws and a win for each club. Liverpool tend to win the important contests though.
