Palmeiras vs. Porto Picks

It could be argued that this clash features the two most talented teams in Group A, and they could be fighting for top spot in the standings as the group stage progresses.

However, the fact that Palmeiras are more accustomed to matches against inter-confederation teams could play in their favor, and we could see the South American club making a dream start against a European rival.
