Team News

Porto
Estrela da Amadora
  • Zaidu is back available after being on International Duty and will likely start at the left-hand side of the defense since Wendell serves a match ban due to an accumulation of bookings.
  • Fábio Cardoso is also suspended, meaning that Otávio could make his first start as a FC Porto' player.
  • Mansur is a doubt for Saturday, meaning that Gaspar, Mendes and Lima will likely keep their spot at the Estrela's backline.
  • Rodrigo Pinho will probably get the nod over André Luiz upfront.

Prediction

  • FC Porto lost 3-2 to FC Arouca last Monday, which happened after a disappointing scoreless draw against Rio Ave FC. The Dragons are not expected to be in a good mood for Saturday and a reaction is demanded from Sérgio Conceição' men.
  • Estrela got back to winning ways last time around, beating Portimonense in a convincing way. They seem to have recovered their offensive efficiency, which should be taken into account here.
  • Back at home, FC Porto will be pressured to win which could make things harder for the Dragons, especially against a Estrela' side that regained their confidence levels. The Dragons might win this, however, even if by a narrow margin.
