Famalicao
Match Time & Date:

19:00
Prediction: 1-2
Porto
All eyes will be on Estadio Municipal de Famalicao when Famalicao and Porto square off against each other on day 2 of the new Primeira Liga campaign. The Dragons recorded a routine 2-0 win over Belenenses in their opener, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Sunday’s football match. Spanish attacker Toni Martinez should keep his place in the starting XI after opening his goal-scoring account in the triumph over O Belem.
Summer signing Pepe, on the other hand, is pushing for his first ever Primeira Liga start. Famalicao were anything but impressive in the opening match of the season, with the team losing to Ferreira at Estadio da Capital do Movel. In the previous meeting between the two teams at the venue Porto outclassed Famalicao 4-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.

Porto form biggest rivalries with two other Big Three clubs in Portugal and regular league title contenders – Benfica and Sporting CP.
