Team News

Porto
Vitoria de Guimaraes
  • Taremi will be full of confidence after scoring four goals against Famalicao. Either Namaso or Tonii Martínez will be paired with him up front.
  • Uribe should return to the starting XI, relegating Grujic to the bench.
  • Anderson Oliveira scored a late equaliser last time out and will push for a start up front, although he could also feature out wide.
  • Bruno Gaspar is doubtful for Saturday, which could open the starting XI door to Maga.

Prediction

  • FC Porto defeated FC Famalicão 4-2 last time out, in a match that had four penalties. The Dragons are still in the hunt for the title, but they have slim chance to secure glory as they need that SL Benfica to lose to relegated CD Santa Clara in order to do so. A draw would also work, but they would have to beat Vitória SC by at least 11 goals.
  • The visitors defeated Vitória SC 1-0 last time out and will look to secure fifth place in the league. They'll certainly be a tough bone to chew for last year's champions.
  • Vitória SC should defend deep and in numbers in order to neutralise FC Porto's attacking power. If they're successful in the opening exchanges, they might spring an upset here.
