Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Vitoria Guimaraes and Gil Vicente, Porto will look to climb to top position when they face Casa Pia on Sunday evening. The Dragons are determined to put an end to Sporting’s dominance in Primeira Liga and their fine start to the season is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. Important attacker Samu limped off with injury in a 2-0 win over Gil Vicente, with summer signing Luuk de Jong likely to step up.
Casa Pia, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Sporting CP, with the team beating Casa Pia by the team same scoreline. Joao Pereira’s men, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Porto’s party at Estadio do Dragao. The likes of Blanco, Kiki, and Mendes should 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. 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.
