Team News

Porto
Casa Pia AC
  • João Mário and Alan Varela missed out in midweek but might recover on time for Saturday.
  • Sérgio Conceição opted for a 3-man backline against Estoril last time around but will likely switch into the usual 4-4-2 here.
  • Samuel Justo will push for a start after netting the winner last time around.
  • Gaizka Larrazabal went off injured but he's fully recovered and will probably start at right-wing back.

Prediction

  • FC Porto got an important win over FC Famalicão, but that was followed by a 3-1 midweek defeat to Estoril in the league cup, which eliminated Sérgio Conceição' men from the competition. They're confidence might be affected here.
  • Casa Pia AC had another solid defensive performance last time around, as they got their 2nd consecutive clean sheet in all competitions. The new manager bounce effect might continue here.
  • The Dragons will have no easy task but playing at home and having a far better team, they'll likely come out with all the spoils.
