Team News

Farense
Porto
  • Pastor is a doubt for Sunday, which could open the Starting XI door to Rivaldo.
  • Rony Lopes and Marco Matias should start out wide given Baldé' suspension.
  • Fábio Vieira and Pepê might return to the Starting XI if Martin Anselmi decides to changes things.
  • Otávio and Zé Pedro will be in competition to start at the heart of the defense.

Prediction

  • Farense lost 2-0 at home to Nacional and have now gone six league games without a win. They'll need to improve if they want to spring an upset against FC Porto.
  • FC Porto come into this game after back-to-back 1-1 draws against Sporting and Roma. The Dragons seem to be assimilating the processes instilled by Martin Anselmi, but they need to win if they want to get back into the title race.
  • Fatigue could be a factor, given that FC Porto are playing their third game in seven days, and could prevent the Dragons from returning to winning ways in the league.
