Porto welcomes Stuttgart to Estádio do Dragão on Thursday for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League last-16 tie, with the home side leading 2-1 on aggregate.
Francesco Farioli’s side took control of the first leg with two quick-fire goals in Stuttgart before the half-hour mark, with Terem Moffi scoring in the 21st minute and Rodrigo Mora adding a second six minutes later, before Deniz Undav pulled one back for the hosts just before halftime to keep the tie alive.
Porto arrives at the Dragão on the back of a 3-0 home win over Moreirense at the weekend and leads the Primeira Liga by seven points, providing momentum heading into a decisive second leg.
