It's not natural to say it like that.
Collocation is important in English. Collocations are words that often go together and so when we use them it sounds natural. Using collocations will make your English sound more natural.
A better collocation for 'opinion' is 'support'. This is very natural and suitable for academic use.
I support the following/latter opinion. As Eliot says, watch the verb tense.

Yes, it is perfectly correct. Watch the tense of the verb though, depending on the context.
