📋 Team News: Estrela Amadora

The Estrela Amadora manager Sérgio Vieira doesn’t have any fitness concerns whatsoever before this game thanks to a fully injury-free squad ready to go.

In our view, Estrela Amadora will probably opt for a 3-4-3 formation for the game, utilising Bruno Brigido, Johnstone Omurwa, Miguel Lopes, Kialonda Gaspar, Hevertton Santos, Leo Cordeiro, Aloisio, Joao Reis, Leo Jaba, Ronaldo Tavares and Ronald Pereira.

Porto boss Sérgio Conceição has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Romário Baró (Unknown Injury), Francisco Conceição (Muscle Injury), Marko Grujic (Unknown Injury) and Gabriel Veron (Tear in the abductor muscle) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

From our viewpoint, Dragões might elect for a 3-5-2 formation, going with Diogo Costa, Pepe, David Carmo, Ivan Marcano, Goncalo Borges, Ivan Jaime, Alan Varela, Andre Franco, Wenderson Galeno, Evanilson and Fran.

🔮 Prediction

We envisage that Porto will more than likely create the chances to score more than once when they play Estrela Amadora, who could well find it tough finding the net themselves.

We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 0-2 margin for Porto at the end of the 90 minutes.
