Those games weren’t short on goals, either, with 26 overall which averages out at 4.33 goals per meeting.

🗞️ Team News: Porto

Fábio Cardoso (Muscle injury), Iván Marcano (Cruciate ligament tear) and Zaidu (Cruciate ligament tear) are not available for Porto gaffer Sérgio Conceição.

We are thinking that Dragões may well line up in a 4-2-3-1 system for this one and select Diogo Costa, Jorge Sanchez, Fabio Cardoso, Otavio, Wendell, Alan Varela, Nico Gonzalez, Chico Conceicao, Pepe, Wenderson Galeno and Mehdi Taremi.

🗞️ Team News: Famalicão

Due to a mostly full-strength group of players, there is just a single fitness worry for the Famalicão manager João Pedro Sousa to contend with. Henrique Araújo (Ankle injury) misses out for this game.

We reckon that Famalicenses might begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, going with Luiz Junior, Nathan Santos, Enea Mihaj, Justin De Haas, Francisco Moura, Mirko Topic, Gustavo Sa, Zaydou Youssouf, Sorriso, Jhonder Cadiz and Jose Luis Rodriguez.

✨ Prediction

It looks to us that Porto look likely to create the chances to score more than once when they face Famalicão, who might well find it difficult scoring a goal of their own.

We’re tipping a controlled 2-0 margin for Porto when the full-time whistle blows.
