HTH
Porto have a dominant 19-2 advantage against Santa Clara with one draw. The Dragons have won all 11 games at home.
They last met in August, Porto winning 2-0 in the Azores where Ivan Jaime and Galeno found the net.
Form
Porto ended 2024 with four straight victories, scoring 11 goals and not conceding in the process. They have lost all four games this year, scoring just one goal with seven conceded.
Vitor Bruno’s side lost 1-0 to Sporting CP in the League Cup semi-finals. They returned to Madeira to complete their game against Nacional, a poor performance resulting in a 2-0 defeat.
The Dragons lost 3-1 at Gil Vicente, their problems compounded with Nico González and Samu Aghehowa sent off late. Bruno was sacked with José Tavares taking over on an interim basis.
Porto returned home where they lost 1-0 against Olympiacos in the Europa League. They managed just two shots on target and now sit out of the play-off positions.
Former Cruz Azul manager Martín Anselmi has travelled to Portugal and is due to be confirmed as the new manager.
Santa Clara have been punching above their weight this season, the promoted club currently fifth on the Primeira Liga table.
Vasco Matos’ side ended the year with a 2-1 win at Famalicao where Gabriel Silva and Sidney Lima were on target. They began 2025 with a 0-0 draw against Farense, an unlucky result after ending with 69% possession and 17-2 shots.
The Azores club remained in Sao Miguel where they are coming off a 3-2 loss against Estoril. They were 2-0 down before goals to Vinícius Lopes and Gabriel Silva drew them level, they couldn’t capitalise on 15-8 shots.
Team News
Porto’s Ivan Marcano, Martim Fernandes, Wendell and Marko Grujic are injured with André Franco doubtful.
Nico González, Stephen Eustaquio and Samu Aghehowa are suspended and Pepê could miss out due to disciplinary proceedings being taken against the winger.
Santa Clara centre-back Pedro Pacheco is out with a knee injury and left-back Matheus Pereira is suspended.
Predicted Starting Lineups
I am expecting Vasco Sousa, Fábio Vieira and Deniz Gül to come into the starting side.
Porto: Diogo Costa, João Mário, Tiago Djaló, Nehuén Pérez, Francisco Moura, Vasco Sousa, Alan Varela, Gonçalo Borges, Fábio Vieira, Galeno, Deniz Gül
MT should replace Matheus Pereira at left-back.
Santa Clara: Gabriel Batista, Sidney Lima, Luís Rocha, Frederico Venâncio, Diogo Calila, Adriano Firmino, Pedro Ferreira, MT, Vinícius Lopes, Alisson Safira, Gabriel Silva
Verdict
Porto have lost four straight games and are in crisis mode on and off the pitch. Santa Clara are likely to park the bus at Estadio do Dragao where under 2.5 goals is the best bet.
