Prediction: 2-0
Guimaraes
After surviving Farense at the weekend, Porto will look to stay in the title race when they host Guimaraes to their Estadio do Dragao. The Dragons are six points behind league leaders Sporting CP, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for Martin Anselmi’s troops. The new boss is undisputedly helping the team regain a much-needed confidence, but his men face a tough challenge against Guimaraes. Defender Nehuen Perez serves a one-game ban, while all Vasco Sousa, Marko Grujic, and Martim Fernandes remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their best form of late. As Vitoria Guimaraes have recorded only one win in the previous four league matches, we are tempted to bet on the title-chasing hosts. To make things even worse for the away team, midfielder Ze Ferreira misses out through suspension.
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.
