On Friday night, Primeira Liga leaders Porto have the chance to move four points clear at the top of the table, as they head to Portimao to take on Portimonense.
The home team are in good form ahead of this difficult game, as Paulo Sergio’s team has now won their last three matches in all competitions.
They have scored at least two goals in each of the wins and also not conceded a goal in the stellar run of form. That run includes a 3-0 away win at Famalicao last time out.
The home team are certainly enjoying a promising campaign in the Portuguese top-flight, as they are just a point outside the European spots in the Primeira Liga.
They have built their season on strong defensive displays, as only the top-three teams in the league have conceded fewer goals than the Portimao outfit.
One facet of their game that they will need to improve if they are to make the top-five is their home form, as they have won just two of their previous ten matches on home soil in the Portuguese top-flight.
This game could be pivotal in the close title race in the Primeira Liga, as second and third place Sporting and Benfica play each other this weekend.
Porto are only ahead of second-place Sporting courtesy of a superior goal difference, as the first meeting between these two teams ended 1-1 in the capital.
The draw was part of Porto’s 12-game unbeaten run this season in the league, as the visitors have won ten and drawn two of their games so far in the Primeira Liga.
A 2-1 win over Vitoria Guimaraes in their last league game means that Porto have recorded seven straight wins in the league while scoring at least two goals in each victory.
Forebet predicts that Porto will record an eighth straight win to move further clear at the top of the Premier League table.
