Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estrela will look to claim a major scalp in Primeira Liga round 31 when they take on Porto on Saturday evening. Os Tricolores are eager to escape the danger zone, but given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, with experienced forward Rodrigo Pinho pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The Dragons, on the other hand, aim to overtake Braga in third place in the standings. Given Estrela’s dip in form, we predict that Porto are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Defender Martim Fernandes is back from suspension, while forward Goncalo Borges misses out through suspension. You should bear in mind that Porto have defeated Estrela in each of the previous six meetings between the two teams in the Portuguese top flight.
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.
