Prediction: 3-1
Estrela
Following a 1-1 draw with Famalicao, Porto will look to return to winning ways in the Primeira Liga when they take on Estrela on Monday evening. The Dragons aim to take advantage of Sporting CP’s poor form and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Estrela. Talented midfielder Nico is back from suspension, while all Marko Grujic, Joao Mario, and Ivan Marcano should miss out with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Arouca. Os Tricolores, though, are on a five-game losing run on the road in the Portuguese top flight and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Porto’s party at Estadio do Dragao. Speaking of the visiting team, experienced forward Rodrigo Pinho is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the triumph over Arouca, while there are no fresh injury worries.
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.
