Team News

Porto
Boavista
  • Toni Martínez scored in each of his last two appearances and will push for a start upfront.
  • Cláudio Ramos started in goal last time around and will likely be replaced by Diogo Costa here.
  • Galeno, Medhi Taremi and Matheus Uribe should also regain their spot in the starting XI.
  • Onyemaechi is doubtful for Sunday which could move Ricardo Mangas to left-back.
  • Watai could play behind the striker, moving Bruno Lourenço out wide.

Prediction

  • FC Porto remains alive on the race for the title as they've beaten FC Paços de Ferreira by 2-0 last time around before beating FC Famalicão for the Portuguese Cup. Sérgio Conceição's men, however, might be fatigued here after playing in midweek.
  • Boavista FC got a 3-2 victory over Rio Ave FC that secured top flight competition next season. They're currently on a 3-match unbeaten run and will try to extended on their short trip to Estádio do Dragão.
  • The visitors only got a draw from their last 7 trips to their rivals stadium, but they could improve that record as they had more time to prepare to this match and won't be pressured to win. With that in mind, they might spring an upset come Sunday.
