Porto
Saturday’s football game at Estadio do Vizela pits together Vizela and Porto, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2023/2024 season. Vizela’s main goal is to avoid relegation, while Porto are on a quest to regain the domestic trophy. The hosts are on a four-game winless run in the national championship and, as a result, they face an uphill task in the round 9 clash. Defender Orest Lebedenko is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Dragons, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to their bitter rivals Benfica, with the team beating Portimonense thanks to Evanilson’s goal and given their fine display in the Champions League triumph (4-1) over Antwerp, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title hopefuls. Wendell limped off with injury in the midweek game, with aforementioned forward Evanilson likely to step up.
Highlighted Player (Toni Martinez):
Born in Barrio del Progreso, Spain, on June 30, 1997, Toni Martinez is a forward who plays for Primeira Liga side Famalicao. Martinez is a product of Real Murcia football school, but in 2013 he moved to Valencia youth academy.
After scoring two goals in 16 appearances for Valencia B, the Spaniard signed a deal with West Ham United in April 2016 for a fee of around £2.4 million. However, he did not see any game action in the Premier League with the Hammers as he was immediately sent on loan to Oxford United.
Toni Martinez played for the likes of Real Valladolid, Rayo Majadahonda, and Lugo on loan as well before signing a three-year deal with Famalicao in the summer of 2019. He made his debut with the Azuis e Brancos on August 3, 2019, in a 2-0 home defeat to Covilha in the Taca da Portugal. Toni Martinez has two caps with the Spain U19 team.
Highlighted Team (Porto):
Futebol Clube do Porto are one of Portugal’s biggest football clubs playing their matches in front of 50,000 people at their Estadio do Dragao. Porto form biggest rivalries with two other Big Three clubs in Portugal and regular league title contenders – Benfica and Sporting CP. Rivalries between the clubs stem from the historical, political, economical and cultural discrepancies between the cities of Porto and Lisbon. The Dragons, as they are commonly known in Portugal, are the second most successful Portuguese team with a total of 74 trophies to their name.
Porto hold a record of five consecutive league titles which are part of the total tally of 27 Primeira Liga trophies. FC Porto’s success extends to the international scene as well with seven European titles. Two-time European champions from 1987 and 2004, Porto also won two UEFA Cup/Europa League titles, the UEFA Super Cup and the International Cup on two occasions. Together with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United, Porto have the most appearances in the UEFA Champions League group stage – the total of 20.
