Schalke have never been in the second stages of the Champions league proper and will be hoping to make history with a favourable result this time around in Portugal, coverage starting from 19:45 GMT this coming Tuesday 4^th March 2008.

The first leg encounter at the Arena AufSchalke in Germany a fortnight back was a tight affair with a solitary Kevin Kuryani goal in the fourth minute settling the contest in favour of the home team on their debut in the knockout stages. Much of Schalke’s hopes for the second leg will lie on the goal scoring poweress of Kevin Kuryani and the German international will be hoping to make a standing impression after failing to impress in previous Champion leagues encounters. Schalke come into this clash on the back of a tough home fixture against league leaders Bayern Munich and will miss midfielder Zlatan Bajramovic due to a toe injury for this clash. Pressure is mounting on Schalke coach Mirko Slomka as back to back defeats in the German league have put them way off the radar and Slomka will be hoping to get some respite with a victory away at Portugal this time around.

Porto on the other hand were unlucky to loss out in the first leg after playing some lovely attacking football in different periods of the game. In the likes of Ricardo Quaresma and Lucho Gonzalez Porto certainly posses players that can hurt a team on the counter and will be relying on their majestic home form to see them through in this encounter. The 2004 Champions League winners have been immense at home on European nights and have lost only one out of their last nineteen matches at home. Porto’s last entry into the quarterfinals resulted in an eventual Champions league triumph four years back and although there are very few reminders of that squad in the Porto ranks, Porto will be confident of overturning Schalke’s lead enroute to quarterfinals qualifications.
