Porto form and stats

Porto's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Porto collect 37 points from their 16 away matches in the Liga Portugal. 11 victories and 4 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). In general it has been a productive period now for Porto as they haven't lost any of their last ten games.

Impressive finishing from Namaso and Taremi secured the home win 2-1 against Casa Pia in their previous game. Namaso came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Casa Pia last time out, making the manager Conceição feel like a tactical genius. Midfield player Galeno was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.83/10. Galeno hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 38 successful passes (of 42 total).

Prior to that result Porto won their away game at Arouca. The scoreline was 1-0.
