Porto form and stats

Porto have been outstanding at home so far in the Liga Portugal with 13 wins, 0 draws and only 2 losses. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of six straight victories regardless of arena.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Porto, as their goalkeeper Diogo Meireles Costa has completely shut out the opponents for 270 minutes in the Liga Portugal.

Porto enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Arouca's place. The match ended 1-0 with Marcano scoring. Otávio (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.81/10. Otávio served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 48 successful passes (of 56 total).

A win at home before that one, as anticipated. The team were solid favourites against Famalicão (after extra-time) and won 3-2.

Porto are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (39 goals in 15 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
