Porto B

Porto B will be wanting a better result here after the 2-3 LigaPro losing effort in their last game against Benfica B.

The only scorer from Porto B was Danny Loader (9', 39'). Miguel Nóbrega (58') scored for Benfica B.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Porto B haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Porto B have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 7 goals in the process. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, however.
