The upcoming match between FC Porto and Inter Milano, which will take place on 14 March 2023 at the Estadio Do Dragao, is already awaited by fans. The Porto faithful will want a repeat of their previous victory over Estoril, which they won 3-2 in the Primeira Liga.
In that match, Porto had 63% possession and 12 shots, 5 of which were successful. For Porto, the goalscorers were Marko Grujić (9′), André Franco (31′), and Mehdi Taremi (73′). Estoril had nine shots on goal at the other end, with three of them going in. Estoril got goals from Tiago Gouveia (27′) and Geraldes (67′).
In recent games, Porto has rarely displayed defensive toughness. They will be concerned by the fact that Porto has conceded 7 goals in 5 of their previous 6 games and failed to stop their opponents from scoring. Inter Milan will be hoping to turn things around here after losing to Spezia in their previous Serie A match.
Inter Milan had 69% possession and 28 shots on goal, seven of which were successful. Romelu Lukaku scored the Inter Milan goal (83′). Spezia made four attempts, two of which were successful. Spezia got goals from Daniel Maldini (55′) and M’Bala Nzola (87′).
The defensive players at Inter Milan have put in a string of determined performances, resulting in a total of four goals conceded in their last six matches. They scored seven goals for themselves during that time. Having said that, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern will continue in the subsequent game.

Porto vs Inter Milan Head to head :
This will be the sixth time the two teams will meet, with all of their previous encounters taking place in the Champions League. With three victories, Inter Milan has a better record in these games. Porto has only one win to their name and one game has finished in a draw.
It’s interesting to note that the San Siro has hosted all three of the visitors’ victories over the hosts. Since the 2010–11 season, the visitors have not advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals. The hosts have won their last four meetings with teams from Italy at home,
while the visitors have only won one of their last eight meetings with teams from Portugal away. In their ten matches played at home, Porto has won nine and lost just one. Inter has failed to score in two of their last three away games, which has left them winless.
Porto vs Inter Milan Team news :
Andre Franco and Stephen Eustaqio are among those in contention for selection, with Sergio Conceicao having to make at least one change to the team that started the first leg because Otavio is suspended following his red card in Milan.
While Franco and Galeno, the latter of whom made his return to the bench on Friday, offer more attacking potential, Eustaquio, a Canada international who suffered a heel injury against Estoril, should be fit to provide a more conservative option.
Evanilson, a fellow Brazilian like Galeno, continues to struggle with a thigh issue. Conceicao ought to return to a more natural setup on Tuesday, with Mehdi Taremi and Matheus Uribe both back from the beginning in the wake of being sidelined at the end of the week.
In response to additional criticism leveled at club captain Samir Handanovic for his performance in La Spezia, Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana will also return after being rested on Friday.
The visitors will play in Simone Inzaghi’s preferred 3-5-2 formation with Hakan Calhanoglu and Federico Dimarco, but it’s still up in the air whether Edin Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku will compete with top scorer Lautaro Martinez up front.
Following his recent return to training, Joaquin Correa is another option, but he may only make an appearance as a second-half substitute. Milan Skriniar may not make the team due to a back injury; the Slovakian defender is more likely to target Sunday’s Derby D’Italia.
