Porto, Recent FormThe Porto players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sporting CP recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 57% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Sporting CP managed 10 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Manager Sérgio Conceição will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They have had a strong run of form at Estádio do Dragão recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Chaves, Recent FormThe 3-1 home defeat to Casa Pia will not have sat easily with the Chaves squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Casa Pia's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
They have bagged 4 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 17 times in that period. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 13 of their 14 games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. Their form has been poor this season, losing 10 of 14 league games.
On an individual basis, Héctor Hernández will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Chaves' 14 league games this season.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Porto that came out on top with a 1-3 win.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Estádio do Dragão, Flavienses have been unable to break through the Porto defence and find the back of the net. Goals should be on the cards for Porto in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Flavienses in their last 8 meetings together. Dragões have an impressive record of scoring goals against Chaves, with a tally of 19 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters. In their past 5 meetings, Dragões' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Chaves will have to take their chances when they come.
Porto have dominated this fixture in the past, winning the last 8 times in a row when they have played Chaves in the league.
Porto manager Sérgio Conceição has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Iván Marcano (Cruciate ligament), Samuel Portugal Lima (Groin) and Gabriel Veron (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Chaves manager Moreno Teixeira has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
