Team News

Porto
Moreirense
  • Nico González saw his 5th yellow card of the season last time around and will serve a match ban here, which opens the Starting XI door to Eustáquio.
  • Evanílson is enjoying a delightful run of form, scoring 4 goals in the last two matches and will likely lead the line once again.
  • André Castro could make his debut after being signed in midweek.
  • Ofori, Fabiano, Mingotti and Madson are back available after missing out against Estoril.

Prediction

  • FC Porto seems to be recovering some ground after an awful run of results. The Dragons defeated SC Braga 2-0 last time out after defeating Estoril by 4-0 in the Portuguese Cup's last 16. Sérgio Conceição's men should be confident to get another win here.
  • Despite having some last minute absentees, Moreirense FC were able to deliver a wonderful performance against Estoril and ended up winning 3-1 on home soil last time around. They only lost to Sporting on the road this season, which should be a warning sign for FC Porto.
  • In fact, Moreirense FC should be tough opponents but with FC Porton playing at home, it's hard to imagine them losing points.
