Only a few games have been played in the Primeira Liga so far, with Sporting CP placed 4th and Porto sitting in the 3rd position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Sporting CP form and stats

The Sporting CP goalkeeper Antonio Adan Garrido is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 182 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primeira Liga.

A strong away win for Sporting CP against Portimonense the last match, as Nuno Santos and Nuno Mendes were on target. Ahead of that match, Sporting CP lost 1-4 at home to LASK Linz.

Sporting CP goalkeeper Antonio Adán did an outstanding job against Portimonense with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.

Porto form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Primeira Liga, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 11 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats from 17 matches.

Porto might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Marítimo proved too strong as Porto slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Do Dragão. Preceding that game was the away victory against Boavista with the score of 5-0.

Late heartbreak for Porto in the Marítimo match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.

Porto has another fixture away, a Champions League game, against Manchester City in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Porto have the goal stats of 5-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Sporting CP won one game, four matches ended with a draw and Porto has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
