Porto faces Torreense in a much-anticipated matchup. While Porto dominated Liga Portugal last season through a strong defense, Torreense created shockwaves by winning the Portuguese Cup and performing well in preseason fixtures. Predicted lineups show both teams making strategic moves, with Porto integrating new signings and Torreense retaining their core squad. Although Porto are heavy favorites, Torreense's resilience could make it closer than odds suggest. The key recommendation is to consider a handicap on Torreense for better value, especially given their recent exploits.

Porto vs Torreense Preview


Torreense won the Portuguese Cup last season, the second division side shocking Sporting CP in the final. Porto are extremely short here so I am placing a small stake on the outsiders with a three goal start.

HTH - First Clash Since 1999


Porto have a dominant 10-1 record against Torreense alongside four draws.

The last meeting came in the 1998/99 Portuguese Cup, Claudio Oeiras’ late goal securing Torreense a shock 1-0 win at Estádio das Antas.

Porto the Top Team in Portugal


Porto were the dominant team in Liga Portugal last season, winning the title in Francesco Farioli’s first campaign in charge.

The Dragons scored less goals than Sporting CP and Benfica but got it done defensively, conceding just 18 goals in 34 games. Goalkeeper Diogo Costa was impressive behind Polish centre-backs Jan Bednarek and Jakub Kiwior.

Farioli’s side have had a decent preseason, the only defeat coming against Gil Vicente in Barcelos. William Gomes and Pepe scored in a 2-1 victory against Aston Villa before Rodrigo Mora and Eduardo Ferreira found the net in a 2-1 win over São João de Ver.

Torreense the Cup Champions


Torreense finished third in Liga Portugal 2 last season to book a spot in the promotion playoffs. They went close against Casa Pia, a 0-0 draw at home followed by a 2-0 defeat in Rio Maior.

The Torres Vedras club produced a huge shock to win the Portuguese Cup. Kevin Zohi scored early in the final against Sporting CP before being pegged back, Stopira converting a penalty in extra time to secure a 2-1 victory and a spot in the Europa League.

Luís Tralhão’s side have had a strong preseason, a 5-0 victory over Academica followed by draws against Benfica B and Estoril.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Porto (4-3-3) Claudio Ramos; Pablo Rosario, Jan Bednarek, Jakub Kiwior, Zaidu Sanusi; Victor Froholdt, Alan Varela, Gabri Veiga; William Gomes, André Silva, Pepe

Pablo Rosario could start at right-back here with Alberto Costa lacking match fitness.

Martim Fernandes and Vasco Sousa are doubtful alongside Oskar Pietuszewski who is dealing with a thigh injury. The Polish winger has been linked with a move to Liverpool.
Striker Samu Aghehowa is still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury and could return in November.

Porto have signed midfielder In-beom Hwang and striker André Silva, veteran centre-back Thiago Silva returning to Brazil.

Torreense (4-2-3-1) Lucas Paes, David Bruno, Mohamed Ali-Diadié, Stopira, Javi Vázquez; Leonardo de Azevedo Silva, André Simões; Luis Quintero, Alejandro Alfaro, Dany Jean; Kevin Zohi

Torreense have largely kept their squad intact, David Costa sold to Eyüpspor for €300k. Recent arrivals include Jérémy Mounsesse, Jonathan Mutombo, Jorge Aguirre and Karem Zoabi.

Guilherme Liberato returned to Moreirense after his loan deal expired and Ismail Seydi returned to Rapid Vienna.

Tralhão could keep faith with the majority of the side that got it done in the Cup last season.

Verdict

Porto are short priced favourites but Torreense proved they can be hard to beat last season. There is little value on offer here, the second division side backed with a handicap.
