Team News

Boavista
Porto
  • Chidozie and Onyemaechi as they're with the Nigerian National team. Camará might be used as centre back and Filipe Ferreira will likely start at the left-hand side of the defense.
  • Pérez and Makouta are back available which will boost the hosts' options at the middle of the park.
  • Toni Martínez might start once again as Taremi is on International Duty.
  • Alan Varela is suspended, which opens the Starting XI door to Grujic.

Prediction

  • Boavista FC awful run of form continued as they lost 1-0 to Gil Vicente despite putting on a decent effort. They're dealing with a lot of absentees at the back, which could be decisive here.
  • A goal from João Mário gave FC Porto the three points against GD Chaves last time around. They're still on the hunt for 1st place and will look to pressure their rivals with all three points.
  • The last meetings between the sides give FC Porto a clear edge at the Invicta Derby - they've won all 10 matches between the sides at Estádio do Bessa and are likely to stretch this run on Friday night.
