THE PREDICTION

There is plenty riding on this with second place still up for grabs in Group B. Porto know a win will be enough to see them through to the round of 16 but a draw would be enough should AC Milan fail to beat Liverpool in the other fixture. Atletico have no choice to go for the win but, such is Diego Simeone’s style, they are unlikely to recklessly throw men forward. It could well be a cagey, nervy evening perhaps separated by the odd goal so under 2.5 goals is the prediction.
