Team News

Chaves
Porto
  • Guzzo saw the 5th yellow card of the season last time around and will serve a match ban, opening the Starting XI door to Morim.
  • Moreno might switch into a formation with 3 at the back in order to try to neutralize FC Porto' offensive power.
  • Wendell won't be available due to an accumulation of bookings. João Mendes might start at the left-hand side of the defense as a result.
  • Galeno misses out for the same reason and might be replaced by Gonçalo Borges.

Prediction

  • Nothing but a win will matter to GD Chaves as they could be in serious risk of relegation if they don't get all three points here. They've lost 3-1 to Casa Pia AC last time around and have only won once in the last 9 matches.
  • FC Porto had a solid performance against Sporting until the last 20 minutes, in which they allowed their rivals to recover from a 2-goal deficit. They're still fighting for 3rd place and a win on Saturday will be important to keep that position.
  • GD Chaves' last win over FC Porto happened 36 years ago. Since then, both sides have faced each other 34 times, with FC Porto winning 33 of them. That streak isn't expected to stop on Saturday night.
