Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Santa Clara
Match Time & Date:
29/10/2022
16:30
Prediction: 0-2
Porto
Porto will try to recover from a heart-breaking loss to Benfica when they take on Santa Clara in the Liga Portugal round 11. The Dragons are now eight points behind their bitter rivals, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for Sergio Conceicao’s troops. Midfielder Stephen Eustaquio serves a one-game ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. Joao Mario is back from the Champions League ban.
Santa Clara, on the other hand, did well to beat Vizela on the road on Matchday 10, but despite the triumph, they remained in the relegation zone. Given the importance of Saturday’s clash for Porto, we do not believe that the hosts are capable of claiming a major scalp. Mario Silva is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Vizela at the weekend.
