FC Porto

• Eder Militao, Pepe and Otavio are all one booking away from missing the return leg, while Jesus Manuel Corona is suspended on Tuesday.
• Porto will be missing both first-choice strikers Vincent Aboubakar and Moussa Marega for Tuesday’s trip to Italy.
• Tiquinho Soares has replaced Aboubakar in Porto’s Champions League squad and he is expected to lead the line.
• Oliver Torres and Danilo Pereira are in competition for a starting berth in midfield.

• Roma have only lost one of their last eight matches, though that defeat was a 7-1 loss to Fiorentina. The Serie A outfit have not been overly convincing in recent months.
• Porto are unbeaten in all competitions since October, though they did lose on penalties to Sporting in the cup last month.
• Porto have won their last five Champions League matches. An average of 3.8 goals per game were scored during that time, so expect another entertaining game here.
