Team News

Farense
Porto
  • SC Farense coach José Mota should keep the same 4-2-3-1 shape used against Casa Pia AC last time out.
  • Despite being linked with a move to Sampdoria, Mattheus Oliveira is expected to start for the hosts.
  • Nico González is available and should be paired with Alan Varela in the middle of the park.
  • Wendell scored a brace last weekend and will be full of confidence here

Prediction

  • SC Farense defeated Casa Pia 3-1 last time out, rising to seventh place with that victory. José Mota's men have won two of the last three games and have been tough to beat at home, losing only to Sporting CP and Vitória SC in their last nine matches as hosts.
  • FC Porto earned a wonderful 5-0 victory over Moreirense FC last time out, proving that their frontline is functioning better than ever. They're still in third place, however, and five points off the top of the table.
  • Despite being hard to beat on home turf, SC Farense have only defeated FC Porto once in the last 30 years. With that in mind, and given the Dragons' run of form, an away win is the likeliest scenario.
