Bayern Munich vs FC Porto: Match Preview, Probable Starting Lineups and Prediction – UEFA Champions League

FC Porto visit Allianz Arena to play against Bayern Munich in the return leg of UEFA Champions League quarter final tie.

The first leg between the sides ended 3-1 in favor of home team FC Porto. Ricardo Quaresma opened the scoring from the spot in just the 3rd minute of the match and doubled his and the team’s tally just seven minutes later. Thiago Alacantra pulled one back for the German champions in the 28th minute but Jackson Martinez finished the match with a goal in the 68th minute.

David Alaba, Arjen Robben and Mehdi Benatia are all out injured and will not be available for few weeks. Javi Martinez still unfit for match action while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Franck Ribery are closing on on a return from injury.

Alex Sandro and Danilo will miss the second leg and FC Porto will be hugely worried about the loss. Jackson Martinez is doubt but he might start even if not fully fit.
