Inter vs Porto Preview
Tuesday, February 22, 20:00 (UK)
Porto capitalised on their Group B counterparts underwhelming Champions League campaigns to finish top of the group, earning them this last-16 clash at the San Siro.
The timing is less than ideal for the Portuguese champions though, who are amid a bit of an injury crisis.
Sérgio Conceição will be without four players, though that number could be twice as many come Wednesday evening, depending on late fitness tests.
Evanilson, Fabio Cardoso, Gabriel Veron and Francisco Meixedo all miss out, Mateus Uribe and Galeno will be given every chance but this game is also expected to come too soon for the pair.
Otavio and Toni Martinez are all doubts, with the latter forced off in his sideβs narrow win over Rio Ave at the weekend.
The only injury concern for the hosts is Joaquin Correa.
A rotated Simone Inzaghi side also managed to secure three points at Udinese meaning La Nerazzurri came into this well rested.
Andre Onana, Lautaro Martinez and Milan Skrinar all started on the bench but are expected to return here at the expense of Samir Handanovic, Edin Dzeko and Matteo Darmien.
Inter had to fend off Barcelona to secure their knock-out spot alongside Bayern Munich in Group C.

As previously mentioned, this game comes at a pretty terrible time for the visitors, considering their minor injury crisis.
Their form is not as impressive as it may seem.
That may seem an outrageous statement considering their last defeat came in October, 22 games ago.
However, recently Porto have not been convincing, failing to win by more than a two goal margin in any of their last six, despite facing modest opposition.
Over that period, domestically, they have won all five of their games, scoring eight goals but have only generated an xG of 6.49 and failed to win the xG battle on two of the occasions.
In stark contrast to the visitors, this game is coming at a perfect time for Inter.
They are amidst a five-match unbeaten run, over which time they have won four.
Napoliβs 15 point lead at the top of Serie A may be unassailable, however, Inter lead the chasing pack and will carry their momentum into Europe.
La Nerazzurri have won all bar one of their last 12 home matches, a narrow defeat to Empoli in which the hosts were reduced to 10 men in the first half, yet still went on to win the xG battle.
Domestically, only the league leaders (31) have won more points then Inter (30), and only Roma (5) has conceded fewer than them (6) in their 12 domestic matches.
In all competitions, Inter have played 17 games at the San Siro, only shipping nine goals and have kept clean sheets in 65% of the games.
