How tight is the soccer calendar around the world! And of course, we are less than a month away from the start of the World Cup in Qatar, and many matches must be played in advance. One of them is Porto vs Atlético Madrid, in the final matchday of the Champions League group stage.
The home team is already qualified, but must win and hope that Brugge does not win or draw to qualify as first in Group B. Atlético Madrid, who were prematurely eliminated, will be up against them, but will certainly not want to leave Porto with a defeat, as they still have the consolation of a third place that will bring them closer to the Europa League.

Porto Preview
Porto did not start off on the right foot in the Champions League, but thanks to three consecutive victories, they managed to secure their place in the round of 16. It is one point behind Brugge, the leader with 10 points, and who is coming from a draw and a defeat.
The Belgian’s defeat was against Porto, after a crushing 4-0 away win. DT, Sérgio Conceição, is expected to line up the same 11 that won in that match.
Probable lineup: Diogo Costa; Pepe, Fabio Cardoso, David Carmo, Zaidu Sanusi, Otavinho, Mateus Uribe, Stephen Eustáquio, Evanilson, Mehdi Taremi, Wenderson Galeno.
Atletico Madrid Preview
At Christmas 2011, Diego Pablo Simeone took over as Atlético Madrid coach. What a gift Santa Claus brought, since his arrival, the “Colchonero” has played 10 times in the Champions League, a higher number than in its entire history (8).
Nobody expected Atlético Madrid to be eliminated so early from the Champions League, because with one matchday left to play, they have no chances to qualify for the round of 16. It was undoubtedly a failure, especially for the winning mentality of the Argentine coach.
However, he will not want to finish their participation with a loss, and because of his competitive spirit, he will surely put what he considers best to win the match. After all, the Europa League is also an important trophy, and his first as Atlético coach, long ago and far away.
Probable lineup : Jan Oblak, Nahuel Molina, Stefan Savić, José María Giménez, Reinildo Mandava, Ángel Correa, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Axel Witsel, Saúl Ñíguez, Antoine Griezmann, Álvaro Morata.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Atlético Madrid will fight to win and finish its participation in the Champions League in the best possible way, Porto comes into this much with confidence after their victory over the leader in Belgium. It will not be easy, but at JefeBet we believe that the victory will be for the Portuguese team.
Prediction: Porto wins 2 to 1.
