When the draws were made, Group G was earmarked as the most interesting group to the relative equality of the four sides in the group. This has come to pass with the group’s games among the best matches that have been played in the competition so far.

RB Leipzig will go into Tuesday’s clash with 2008 winners FC Porto knowing that they are condemned to get a good result or risk being left out of the hunt for qualification to the second round.

The German upstarts have had a baptism of fire in their debut UEFA Champions League campaign, drawing their first ever UCL game at home to AS Monaco and being turned over easily by Turkish champions Besiktas in their second group game.

The team from the former East Germany have recovered from a poor start in the Bundesliga and were fantastic in beating leaders Borussia Dortmund at the dreaded Signal Iduna Park over the weekend.

Dragões or Dragons as the 27-time Primera Liga winners are known will be looking to build on their surprise 3-0 thrashing of AS Monaco at the latter’s home ground in Game Week 2.

Sérgio Conceição’s men will be looking to build upon an excellent domestic campaign that has the Blue & Whites in 1st place on the league log with 22 points from 8 games.

Given both teams' explosive style of play means that goals should be plentiful as both sides look to catch up on the group’s leader; Besiktas.
