Team News

Porto
Famalicao
  • Pepe serves a match ban after being sent off last time around and will be replaced by Otávio, who is back after serving a match ban.
  • Jorge Sánchez should have a chance to start since João Mário will miss out due to an accumulation of bookings.
  • Riccieli reached a milestone of bookings, and will likely be replaced by Mihaj here.
  • The same goes for Chiquinho, who was enjoying a delightful run of form and will probably be replaced by Sorriso here.

Prediction

  • FC Porto lost to Vitória SC last time around, which allowed the 'Vitorianos' to get closer to 3rd place. In fact, the Dragons might fall into 5th place if they lose here, which would be unthinkable at the start of the season.
  • FC Famalicão heads into this match after back-to-back victories against Gil Vicente FC and FC Vizela, lifting them into 8th place with 34 points that should be enough to secure top flight competition next season.
  • With less pressure that their next opponents, FC Famalicão could dream of getting something from their trip to Estádio do Dragão, especially given that FC Porto will have an eye on their midweek affair against Vitória SC for the Portuguese Cup.
