Santa Clara plays host to FC Porto at Estadio de Sao Miguel on matchday 17 of the LigaPortugal. Santa Clara are in 13th place in the league standings, while FC Porto occupies the top spot. Here's our match prediction.
Santa Clara have not had it easy in the past few weeks. The team was eliminated from the Taca de Portugal after suffering a 3-2 extra-time defeat against Sporting Lisbon in the fifth round.
After that outcome, they found themselves dropping points in a goalless league draw against FC Arouca. That result extended their winless run to two games.
The Azoreans are at home this time around and are out to snap their two-match winless league run. Currently, they have avoided defeat in their last two games.
FC Porto are still the team to beat in LigaPortugal. With 15 wins in their last 16 league games, they have maintained a comfortable five-point cushion at the top of the table.
The Dragons have not suffered defeat since their 3-1 loss to Vitoria de Guimaraes in the League Cup quarter-finals on 04 December. Since then, they've won each of their last six matches across all competitions.
In their recent league game, Samu Aghehowa was the savior, bagging a brace that saw his side seal a comfortable 2-0 home victory. This marked their eighth consecutive league win.
