Team News

Pacos de Ferreira
Porto
  • Marafona continues his suspension here, which should give Vekic another chance to start.
  • Jordan Holsgrove went off injured against CS Marítimo and could be replaced by Luiz Carlos here.
  • Taremi is back available and will likely feature upfront, replacing Toni Martinez.
  • Grujic also returns from suspension, but he's not expected to start.
  • Other than João Mário, the visitors will have a full squad available for their trip to Paços de Ferreira.

Prediction

  • FC Paços de Ferreira had a huge blow in their hopes of top-flight competition next season as they were beaten by direct rivals CS Marítimo, which increased the gap to 16th place - they're currently five-points behind the relegation playoff position.
  • FC Porto weren't impressive against CD Santa Clara last time out, but did enough to get a crucial three points that keeps their title hopes alive. The 'Dragões' are now four points away from SL Benfica and could pressure their rivals by winning on Saturday.
  • This will be no walk in the park for FC Porto, as FC Paços de Ferreira are still fighting for survival. However, the 'Dragões' have a far better team and will likely get all three points here.
