Porto away next for this lot.
Everyone that knows football and is familiar with the European football scene, and its history, knows that Porto in the Dragao is a difficult game, same as Benfica in Luz or Sporting in Alvalade.
The big three in Portugal (certainly Benfica and Porto) are in the last two or three decades among the better of Europe's 'non-elite, second tier' teams and generally have lots of technical ability and tenacity, often plenty of Latin flair too.
Yes Porto lost in Norway, but they're a different beast at home. United are worse even than last season where they lost to Copenhagen and Gala, who aren't as good traditionally as Porto.
This is exactly the type of side United struggle against. I am going a win for Porto by two goals at least.
