Team News

Porto
Arouca
  • Nico González and Eustáquio should start at the middle of the park, although Varela is also an option.
  • Taremi might not feature here a he could be on the move to AC Milan. Namaso will replace him if that happens.
  • Rocha is back available but he should be kept on the bench.
  • Alfonso Trezza had a interesting performance last time around and will push for a start here.

Prediction

  • Iván Marcano was FC Porto' savior once again as he scored a stoppage time winner to beat Rio Ave FC, after doing the same thing the week before against SC Farense. Winning in such circumstances might boosted morale among Sérgio Conceição' men.
  • FC Arouca were held to a 1-1 draw last time around but deserved way more than that. They've been able to deliver interesting performance in their first few weeks of the new season and are expected to be a tough bone to chew.
  • Despite FC Porto' confidence, this should also be a tough match for the Dragons, who might not have the luck they had in the last couple of weeks.
