Prediction: 3-0
Farense
Porto and Farense face each other in a David-vs-Goliath clash at Estadio do Dragao on day 5 of the new Primeira Liga campaign. The Dragons are on a quest to regain Primeira Liga trophy and they will not have a better chance than this to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Sporting CP. Canada midfielder Stephen Eustaquio is pushing for a start, while both Ivan Marcano and Fabio Vieira are sidelined with injuries.
Os Leoes de Faro, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team losing each of their first four league matches. As the visitors are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Porto, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. You should know that Porto are eyeing their ninth consecutive win over Farense in the Portuguese top flight. Midfielder Luiz Felipe should be the only absentee in the away team.
