Match facts

Roma

Roma's round of 16 record is W3 L3. They beat Lyon (2006/07) and Real Madrid (2007/08) in their first two appearances, but then lost to Arsenal (2008/09), Shakhtar Donetsk (2010/11) and Madrid (2015/16) before beating Shakhtar on away goals last season (1-2 away, 1-0 home).
Roma had lost five successive matches in the round of 16 before that second-leg win against Shakhtar last season.
Roma, runners-up in the 1983/84 European Cup, reached the semi-finals last season, beating Shakhtar and Barcelona in the knockout rounds – when a 4-1 away defeat was followed by a 3-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico – before succumbing to Liverpool.

FC Porto

Porto come into this tie having won their last five fixtures to finish top of Group D, scoring three goals or more in each of their last four outings.
Porto are unbeaten in their four matches with Roma, knocking out the Italian side in the second round of the 1981/82 European Cup Winners' Cup thanks to a 2-0 home first-leg victory that took them through by the same aggregate scoreline.
Porto players also provided both goals when the sides met again in Portugal in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League play-offs, although this time it ended in a 1-1 draw; André Silva's 61st-minute penalty got the home side back on terms after a Felipe own goal had given Roma a first-half lead.

Predictions

Porto will try to take advantage over Di Francesco’s uncertain defensive display at times using their dangerous wide players. The Portuguese outfit are not going to Rome just to have some fun as they are keen on repearting their success in 2016.

Final Score – 1 : 1
