Porto, leading the Primeira Liga, faces Sintrense who are just above the relegation zone in the fourth division. Porto has previously defeated Sintrense 5-0 and 3-0 in the Portuguese Cup, suggesting a strong likelihood of another solid win at home. Porto's squad appears strong despite some injuries, while Sintrense has had an impressive cup run but struggles in their league. Key players and a favorable history point towards a dominant Porto victory, with possible scores predicted as high, reflecting Porto's recent form and capacity.

Porto Form


Porto won their opening nine matches this season, the run coming to an end after a 0-0 draw against Benfica. Their first defeat came in the Europa League, conceding two penalties in a 2-0 loss at Nottingham Forest.

The Dragons’ next match in the competition came at Utrecht where they earned a 1-1 draw. They fell behind, Borja Sainz equalising in the second half but couldn’t capitalise after the hosts were reduced to 10 men.

Francesco Farioli’s side returned to the Primeira Liga where they made it three straight victories, winning 1-0 at Famalicao. Victor Froholdt scored the decisive goal as they ended the contest with 1.24-0.27 expected goals.

Sintrense Form


Sintrense have upset the odds in both Portuguese Cup victories, beginning with a come from behind 2-1 win against Vizela. They then beat top flight side Rio Ave 2-1, Valdumar scoring two goals.

David Maside’s side recently went four games without a win in the Campeonato de Portugal. They won 1-0 at Comercio e Industria before the international break, Valdumar on target to make it five goals in 10 games this season.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Porto (4-3-3) Claudio Ramos; Martim Fernendes, Dominik Prpic, Pablo Rosario, Zaidu Sanusi; Gabri Veiga, Stephen Eustaquio, Rodrigo Mora; William Gomes, Deniz Gul, Borja Sainz

Centre-back Nehuen Perez remains out long term due to an achilles rupture and Jan Bednarek picked up a knee injury before the international break and won’t be risked.

Victor Froholdt will be absent due to a knee injury but striker Luuk de Jong has a collateral ligament injury. 

Expect Fariolo to bring Claudio Ramos, Dominik Prpic, Stephen Eustaquio and Deniz Gul into the starting side.

Sintrense (5-3-2) Rodrigo Santos; João Guerra, Francisco Gomes, Romario Carvalho, Rodrigo Luis, Martim Cruz; Pipas, Tomas Lacerda, Henrique Henriques; Valdumar, Jose Varela

Verdict

Porto have met Sintrense twice in the last four years, winning 5-0 and 3-0 on the road. With this one being played at home, a similar result awaits the fourth division side.
