Porto can not ask for any pleasantries from the home team Boavista in this Liga Portugal fixture. Here's our full match guide!

Insights:
  • Boavista have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Porto have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Taça De Portugal. That game was also an away game, at Mafra. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
