Team News

Porto
Famalicao
  • Cláudio Ramos got a clean sheet in the midweek match against FC Arouca, but Diogo Costa will likely get back his place in goal.
  • Pepe is back available and could start alongside Cardoso in the heart of the defence.
  • Toni Martínez scored an hat-trick last time out and will probably start upfront against his former team.
  • João Pedro Sousa might make some changes given that his team was forced into extra-time in midweek. Rúben Lima, Yousouff, Ivo Rodrigues and Cadille are all candidates to start as a result.
  • Cádiz was sent off against Leixões SC in midweek and will serve a suspension here. Rui Fonte should deputise in his place.

Prediction

  • FC Porto were held to a scoreless draw by Casa Pia AC, which widened the gap to the top of the table - they're six points away from SL Benfica. They were able to react with a 4-0 win in the Portuguese cup and will try to capitalise on the Lisbon derby in order to either get closer to SL Benfica or create a more significant gap to Sporting CP.
  • FC Famalicão needed extra-time to qualify for the Portuguese Cup quarter-finals. Prior to that they had recorded back-to-back victories in the league and are expected to be confident heading into Estádio do Dragão. The physical demand of extra-time in midweek, however, might prevent them from causing an upset at Estádio do Dragão and a home win is expected.
