📰 Team News: Casa Pia

Looking at personnel, there is just a single fitness concern for the Casa Pia boss Gonçalo Santos to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Kiki (Knee injury) is out of contention.

We are thinking that Os Gansos (The Geese) should line up in a 3-4-3 system this time and select Ricardo Batista, Joao Nunes, Fernando Varela, Nermin Zolotic, Gaizka Larrazabal, Angelo Neto, Telasco Segovia, Leonardo Lelo, Yuki Soma, Felippe Cardoso and Nuno Moreira.

🗞️ Team News: Porto

Porto manager Sérgio Conceição has a number of players out of action. Diogo Costa (unknown injury), Fábio Cardoso (Muscle injury), Iván Marcano (Cruciate ligament tear) and Zaidu (Cruciate ligament tear) miss out here.

We believe Dragões will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Claudio Ramos, Joao Mario, Pepe, Otavio, Wendell, Alan Varela, Nico Gonzalez, Chico Conceicao, Pepe, Wenderson Galeno and Mehdi Taremi.

✨ Prediction

For this match, we think that Porto will most probably score a couple of goals when they line up against Casa Pia, who could well struggle to find the back of the net.

Therefore, we are anticipating a pretty comfortable 0-2 margin for Porto when all’s said and done.
