Former Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho is backing Porto to beat Roma in their Champions League round 16 tie.

Roma earned a 2-1 first leg win over FC Porto, but Mourinho trusts his former club can go through.

“Porto's away goal was fundamental, as this is a team with Sergio Conceicao's experience of Italian football, it's a tactically-astute side, tough to beat and solid in defence with a strong mentality.

“I don't see Roma being particularly solid at the back and don't think they'd be capable of a 0-0 draw in Portugal, so they need to score in the second leg. I can see a very balanced game, but not a goalless one."
