This promises to be an appealing fixture with lots of fun and bustle as both squads are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Let's go!
Porto form and stats
Porto participated in Taça De Portugal the last season, where they reached the semi-finals and lost against Sporting Braga.5-0-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Primeira Liga numbers at home for Porto so far this season. Porto has a nice streak going on as they have played 39 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Pacos de Ferreira defeat 385 days ago.
Porto are returning here after visiting Santa Clara in a Primeira Liga game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Sérgio Oliveira and Luis Díaz (2) scored the goal(s). Midfield player Luis Díaz got a match rating of 8.8 in that game, the max score being 10. Díaz scored two goals, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 34 successful passes (of 42 total).
Preceding that game was the away draw at Milan that finished 1-1.Porto are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Estádio Do Dragão with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history three earlier games are comparable to this one, and Porto has won two times, drawn zero and lost one. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Porto has won by at least two goals two times when in this position.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Porto as they are travelling to their away game against Liverpool in the Champions League. That match is four days after this one.
With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Porto is on fire here. A stunning 16 from 5 league matches. Porto have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
