Team News

Famalicao
Porto
  • Ricardo Silva was appointed as Famalicão' interim manager following the sacking of Evangelista and remains to be seen wether he will make wholesale changes here.
  • Rafa Soares should be extra motivated as he faces his former club.
  • Navarro is fully recovered, meaning that Marcano will be the only injury concern for the visitors.
  • Alan Varela is back available after serving a match ban and will likely start at the visitors' engine room.

Prediction

  • FC Famalicão lost to Estoril last weekend, which led to the sacking of Armando Evangelista. The team had been losing some momentum in recent weeks, after a very positive start to the season.
  • FC Porto finally ended their 5-match winless run as they defeated Casa Pia at home by 2-0. The team will want to build momentum in order to stay alive at the title race.
  • The changes in FC Famalicão's coaching staff could harm the home side, especially when they face a technically superior opponent. An away win is the most likely scenario.

  • What a mess Portuguese football was this week. All the players on holiday at the end of the year, Porto, Sporting, Fiorentina, Benfica, Braga... are these the best in Portugal?

  • Every week before the leagues it's impossible to believe in the teams. And now there are 6 weeks of the league, while in the past there were only 3.

  • Samu +150 / Galeno +150 TSA

  • Porto Win

  • @KingKeno no, every to Portuguese team was a mess this week ��
