Team News

Porto
Portimonense
  • Fábio Cardoso was sent off against SL Benfica and won't feature here. Zé Pedro might replace him at the heart of the defense.
  • Evanílson might start upfront alongside Taremi, which would relegate Pepê to the bench.
  • Carlinhos scored a decisive brace last time out and will be full of confidence for Sunday.
  • Seck will likely replace the suspended Gonçalo Costa at left wing back.

Prediction

  • FC Porto heads into Sunday after losing back-to-back matches against rivals SL Benfica and FC Barcelona. Despite losing they had a decent performance in both matches, and will be confident on getting back to winning ways.
  • Portimonense SC came out on top on their last outing as they beat FC Vizela in a 5-goal thriller. Paulo Sérgio's men, however, have been leaky at the back and will need to improve if they want to rescue a point or three from their trip to Estádio do Dragão.
  • The hosts have remarkably defeated their next opponents in all of the last 17 matches between the sides and things shouldn't be much different come Sunday.
