Porto Preview
Porto is the only team that has not lost in the last five league matches. Indeed, it has three wins and two draws so far. The team has been doing well, but it had slipped back a little from the top, so it will need to keep picking up three points if it is to reach for the top spot.
Currently, the team is in third place of the overall standings with 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. It has stood out mainly for its defense, since together with Benfica, it has the lowest number of goals conceded (10). It also has the second-best offense thanks to 36 goals in 15 games.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Diogo Costa; Joao Mario, Fabio Cardoso, Ivan Marcano, Wendell Nascimento; Otavio da Silva, Marco Grujic, Mateus Uribe, Wenderson Galeno; Mehdi Taremi, Gabriel Veron.
Famalicao Preview
Famalicao comes into this match with two consecutive league victories over Chaves and Vizela. Best of all, the team is currently on a five-game undefeated streak in all competitions, which will undoubtedly serve as an extra motivation for this match.
This team is not among the best in the Primeira Liga, having achieved only five wins in 15 matches played, and it is in 13th place in the standings with 17 points. Indeed, it has just one win in eight away games this season, but that win came in their last away game, and could serve as an encouragement to win this match.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Luiz Junior; Alexandre Penetra, Enea Mihaj, Riccieli da Silva, Francisco Moura; Gustavo Assuncão, Santiago Colombatto; Iván Jaime, Gustavo Sá, Pablo; Jhonder Cádiz.
JefeBet Prediction
Porto arrives as the clear favorite for this match, not only because of its current numbers, but also because it has four victories in a row against this rival, the most recent of which was at home on January 2022 by a score of 3-1. If Porto continues to show the same level as in previous matches, there is no reason to doubt that it will be able to get the three points.
Prediction: Porto win by a score of 3-0.
