We said: Porto 2-1 Lazio

Though Lazio are on a largely positive run of form they do not often travel well, so Porto can take a first-leg advantage to Rome next week. Despite recent improvement, the visitors can also be exploited defensively, and the Primeira Liga leaders have sufficient firepower to make them pay for any slip-ups or positional errors. Read more.
