Team News

Porto
Gil Vicente
  • Iván Jaime and Eustáquio made an impact coming from the bench and will push for starts on Saturday night.
  • Galeno might leave for Juventus, which could open the Starting Xi door to Gonçalo Borges here.
  • Collado and Félix Correia will be in competition to start out wide.
  • With Gabriel Pereira' departure, Rúben Fernandes and Buatu should start at the heart of the defense.

Prediction

  • FC Porto had a great start to the season, winning the Super Cup in epic fashion. Vítor Bruno's men overcame a three-goal deficit to beat their rivals Sporting Lisbon. Expect them to be confident here.
  • Gil Vicente won't have as many difficulties as last year, when they had to deal with an excessive number of player departures. In fact, they're expected to have a good season, as they got good signings (Sandro Cruz, Josué Sá, Santi García or Jorge Aguirre) in the summer.
  • The visitors were able to upset FC Porto the last time both teams faced each other thanks to a late goal. However, FC Porto are way more confident now and should get all three points in front of their supporters.
