Porto, Recent FormPorto will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 away win against Benfica. In that game they had 39% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Benfica who had 7 attempts and 1 on target.
Manager Sérgio Conceição will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. With 13 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 12 out of 13 home games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 5 games.
When home matches come round at Estádio do Dragão, Francisco Evanilson will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Porto's last 6 home league matches.
Santa Clara, Recent FormWith Vizela sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Santa Clara won't feel totally dejected with their 1-0 home defeat by them last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Vizela had 5 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Danildo Accioly will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 2 goals, conceded 13, and picked up a meagre 0 points. The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 4 games in a row. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Os Açoreanos, having gone without a win in their last 14 league games and lost the last 8 in a row.
Gabriel Silva has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Porto.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Porto will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Os Açoreanos having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 15 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, Dragões' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Santa Clara will have to take their chances when they come.
Santa Clara will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 7 times they've visited Porto in the league and not won this away fixture at Estádio do Dragão for 7 games in a row.
With no real injury worries, Porto manager Sérgio Conceição will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Santa Clara manager Danildo Accioly has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
