Prediction: 3-1
Nacional
After surviving Boavista in the local derby, Porto will look to clinch third place in the standings when they take on Nacional on the last day of the season. The Dragons are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Nehuen Perez is banned for the home side, while both Marko Grujic and Vasco Sousa continue to miss out with injuries.
Flavio Perchman’s troops, on the other hand, are sitting in 13th place in the standings, with nothing to play for in the Estadio do Dragao game. With Porto being determined to make amends for the unsuccessful Primeira Liga campaign, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Lucas Franca misses out through suspension, while both Fernandes and Baeza continue to miss out with injuries for the away 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.

Porto hold a record of five consecutive league titles which are part of the total tally of 27 Primeira Liga trophies.
