Match Overview
FC Porto take on Estrela da Amadora in a match in the Liga Portugal at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto on Saturday. The home team will feel that they hold the advantage over their opponents, but it will not be very easy for them. Despite their lowly ranking, Amadora are not quite the minnows that they have been made out to be in the media.
Key Highlights
One must remember that Porto are ranked 4th in goals scored per match (1.7 goals). At the same time, Porto are also ranked 2nd away from home this season, although they are playing in familiar conditions in this game. What will help Porto in this match against Amadora is the fact that they have been unbeaten in the last 9 home games that they have played.
Injury Report
While Ivan Marcano has been suspended for Porto in this game, Fabio Cardoso is unavailable for selection due to a suspension he earned.
Prediction
Ranked 13th in goals scored per match (1 goal), Amadera have not scored in 2 away matches. This means that their attacking players have not had the best of times in front of their opponent's goal. What will hurt them even more is that they haven't won an away game in their last 7 matches. Porto are the favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so.
