📰 Team News: Porto

Vasco Sousa (Broken fibula), Diogo Costa (Muscle injury) and Marko Grujić (Heel injury) aren’t available for Porto boss Martín Anselmi.

In our view, Dragões look set to employ a 3-4-3 formation in the match, handing starts to Claudio Ramos, Ze Pedro, Stephen Eustaquio, Ivan Marcano, Joao Mario, Alan Varela, Fabio Vieira, Francisco Moura, Rodrigo Mora, Deniz Guel and Pepe.

📋 Team News: Moreirense

Due to a mostly full-strength group, there is only the one fitness problem for the Moreirense gaffer Cristiano Bacci to be concerned about. Hernâni (Ankle sprain) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that Os verdes e brancos appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Caio Secco, Gilberto Batista, Maracas, Marcelo, Godfried Frimpong, Ruben Ramos, Ivo Rodrigues, Cedric Teguia, Alan, Joel Jorquera and Yan Lincon.

💭 Prediction

It’s likely that Moreirense may well find it beyond them to break down a Porto lineup who have all the attributes to create a lot of chances for themselves and convert these into unanswered goals.

We are predicting a very comprehensive 4-0 thrashing (at least) for Porto when the referee blows the final whistle.
