Porto
Porto haven’t lost since February 2023. The team went on a 10-game unbeaten streak. In that calendar period, they won eight times and recorded two more goalless draws. Porto have not conceded a goal in five matches.
The coaching staff uses a balanced 4-4-2 tactical formation, emphasizing defensive or offensive actions at the right time.
Porto won 2-1 on the road in the first leg of the semi-final of the Cup, so they will try to play at home based on their own defensive skills.
Famalican
Famalicao lost two matches in a row. First he failed Porto (1-2) in the Portuguese Cup, and then failed to stop Sporting (1-2) in the national championship. Famalican’s last victory over Porto dates back to June 2020.
The team has big defense problems. In 30 rounds of the Portuguese championship, Famalicao conceded 39 goals. This is more than, for example, Gil Vicente, who ranks 14th. The last time Famalicao played clean was in early March.
Forecast
Porto looks powerful, so they will use their square. I bet that the hosts will win with a handicap (-1.5).
