Porto form and stats

The strength of Porto on their travels this season is incredible with 38 points collected from 14 Primeira Liga away games. Porto has 12-2-0 on the road, with 34 goals scored and 10 conceded. The fact that Porto have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Porto goalkeeper Diogo Meireles Costa is eager to challenge this, with his 294 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Porto won their last game, 3-0 versus Santa Clara played at home. Vieira, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 9.13. Vieira scored two goals, dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times and had 40 successful passes (of 46 total).

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Boavista.

The Porto manager Conceição has got the team scoring on the road, with 34 away goals in 14 league matches. It's not easy to score on Porto as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
