Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Famalicao
Match Time & Date:
02/12/2023
01:00 PM
Prediction: 1-2
Porto
Buoyed by a come-from-behind win over Guimaraes, Porto will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Famalicao on Matchday 12. The Dragons are eyeing their sixth away win of the process, but the hosts should not be underestimated. David Carmo is back from the Champions League ban, while all Samuel Portugal, Wendell, and Ivan Marcano remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Famalicao, meanwhile, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Estrela, beating Gil Vicente, while sharing the spoils with Vizela. As important midfielder Vitorio is banned for the match following his sending-off in the Taca de Portugal loss to Benfica, we are tempted to put our money on the Portuguese powerhouse. In their last meeting at Estadio Municipal de Famalicao the Dragons defeated os Azuis e Brancos 4-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
