Following the international break, the Primeira Liga will restart this weekend, and in our featured match, we will see Porto look to take a step closer to securing their Champions League qualification when they welcome Portimonense to Estadio Do Dragao on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are currently second in Primeira Liga with 58 points in 25 matches, ten points behind Benfica at the top and two points above Sporting Braga in third place. Porto played out a stalemate in their last match, which extended their recent unbeaten run to three matches, including two wins and a draw. Porto has been very good at home this season and boasts a strong record of 10 wins and just two losses in 12 matches at Estadio Do Dragao this season. Porto has been by far the more superior in this fixture in recent years and comes into this one on an 11-match winning run against this opponent. 

In contrast, Portimonense’s focus for the rest of the season will be to avoid relegation, as they currently sit in 14th place with 26 points in 25 matches. The visitors suffered a 1-0 defeat against Vizela in their last match, which was their fourth consecutive loss in the league. It gets worse when looking at Portimonense’s away record, where they are on a six-match losing run and have managed just three wins in 12 away matches this season. Portimonense has scored 18 goals this season, but they’ve conceded 32 and are likely to find it difficult to come away with anything from this one.
