Porto
  • Once again, the hosts will have a full squad available.
  • Despite losing to GD Estoril, Luis Freire should keep the same Starting XI.
  • Alan Varela could make his debut with the new club, replacing Nico González.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave FC lost 2-0 to Estoril Praia despite delivering an interesting performance during the first half. The 'Vilacondenses' will look to get back to winning ways here, despite having a tough challenge ahead of them.
  • FC Porto were far from impressive against SC Farense last time out but were able to get a victory in the 10th minute of added time. The Dragons will have to deal with the absence of Otávio until the end of the season, which is a major blow.
  • The last time both sides faced off in Vila do Conde, the hosts got an amazing 3-1 victory, showing how tough it could be to play in Estádio dos Arcos - in fact, FC Porto only won twice in the last 4 matches there. With that in mind, and given FC Porto's recent loss of Otávio, a draw might be the result here.
