With the current state of form things are giving good advantage to AS Roma which have good boost after arrival of Ranieri who bring stability in this big club who was in deep trouble before his arrival while their performance and record in Europa League is always impressive. Porto is surely good club, but recently they are losing their rhythm and having no consistency which is the big problem for them in last eight games they have only one win with four loses which is surely big setback for them just because of this Porto is looking not good for having promotion.
First leg match is going to be important for both teams because if Porto fail to have any good advantage then surely it's going to be trouble while Roma will be surely needed to keep nerve and have good defensive strategy which will help them for having good result in second leg game.
Only a matter of minutes, the long-awaited match will soon begin. And it seems that in this match Porto uses a 3-4-2-1 formation, with this formation it seems that the Porto coach plans for his players to dominate the match more, but on the other hand the formation is quite risky, because usually this formation is very vulnerable to counterattacks. While for AS Roma itself in this match they used a fairly simple but tiring formation, namely the 3-4-2 formation. It is quite tiring because AS Roma's midfield players are required to be able to help in attack and also in defense, they are required to continue to maintain stamina and rhythm of the game until the match ends, because if AS Roma's midfield is unable to balance between defense and attack, then AS Roma's rhythm of play in this match will be a little chaotic. But even so I still feel confident enough for Roma to win this match.
