Team News

Porto
Famalicao
  • João Mário returned to training in midweek and could start if recovered. Otherwise, Bruno Costa will start at right-back once again.
  • Otávio could also reclaim a spot in the starting XI as he's available after serving a ban.
  • Fábio Vieira and Evanílson were stand out performers against Belenenses SAD and should lead the line once again.
  • Riccielli, Batubinsika and Alex Nascimento will be paired at centre-back as Alexandre Penetra serves a ban.
  • Rúben Lima is fully fit and ready to start at left wing-back. He will likely relegate Marin to the bench.
  • Pedro Marques and Ivan Jaime will be in competition to start behind the striker on Sunday.

Prediction

  • FC Porto came from behind to beat Belenenses SAD last Sunday, which helped them open up a three-point gap to Sporting CP. They'll look to reinforce top spot at home, where they are yet to drop a single point all season.
  • FC Famalicão were held to a goalless draw by FC Paços de Ferreira in a match where their opponents' goalkeeper was a standout performer. Prior to that draw, Rui Pedro Silva's men earned a couple of good results as they secured a draw on their trip to Braga before beating Belenenses SAD at home.
  • FC Porto should not have an easy task here, but they have a far better team and anything but a home win would be a shock.
