Prediction: 0-2
Porto
Olympique Marseille will be aiming to get their revenge on Porto when the two teams face each other at Stade Velodrome on Wednesday evening. The Ligue 1 side have been struggling in the Champions League this season, with the team losing each of their first three group games without finding the net. The hosts are low on confidence ahead of the visit of Porto; therefore, home win should not be considered.
The Dragons, on the other hand, aim to move one step closer to booking their place in the Champions League last 16. Porto boss Sergio Conceicao rested several first-team regulars in the Taca de Portugal game against Fabril do Barreiro, but he is going to field the best possible side against OM. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Porto are more of a team than Olympique Marselle.
Highlighted Player (Kevin Strootman):
After starting his senior career at Sparta Rotterdam, Kevin Strootman joined fellow Dutch side Utrecht in 2011. The defensive midfielder, who was born on February 13, 1990 in Ridderkerk, Netherlands, then moved to PSV where he established himself as a first-team regular. Strootman was then spotted by AS Roma scouts and in 2013 he decided to take a step forward in his career by joining the Giallorossi.
On March 9, 2014, the Dutch footballer sustained a serious knee injury that made him miss the remainder of the 2013/2014 Serie A season. He missed the 2014 FIFA World Cup as well, but he returned to contention on November 9, 2014. Kevin Strootman played for Roma until August 28 when he signed a five-year contract with Olympique Marseille.
Speaking of his international career, Strootman made his Netherlands debut against Austria in 2011 and he scored his first ever goal for the Dutch national team in Euro 2012 qualifier against Finland. Kevin Strootman’s preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Porto):
Futebol Clube do Porto are one of Portugal’s biggest football clubs playing their matches in front of 50,000 people at their Estadio do Dragao. Porto form biggest rivalries with two other Big Three clubs in Portugal and regular league title contenders – Benfica and Sporting CP.

Porto hold a record of five consecutive league titles which are part of the total tally of 27 Primeira Liga trophies.
