In the first leg, Porto held strong until Otavio was sent off with a straight red card in the 78th minute, an incident that has helped lead to a mini Romelu Lukaku resurgence, after he scored in the 86th minute to give Inter the 1-0 win. With three goals in his last five appearances, Lukaku has more than doubled his goal output during the season and he’s finally showing why Inter wanted him back despite their disappointing loss to Spezia on Friday.
Porto isn’t a team that will usually get on the front foot during matches, but they’ll have to change things up down a goal. Porto games are physical affairs which is why their last four matches have all seen a red card given. Porto were on the receiving end of two of those, so while they’ll need to be physical, it will have to be within reason. It’s certainly a deficit that can be overturned but if Inter are allowed to control the game, that’ll be easier said than done.
