Eye-catching domestic action takes place in Portugal this weekend, as FC Porto and Vitoria will both be looking to get back on track after suffering recent defeats. There will be increased pressure on the visitors, as they can ill-afford to lose more ground on Sporting Lisbon.
Exciting action from Portugal’s top flight takes place on Saturday evening, as FC Porto make the trip to Vitoria. The visitors will be looking for a response on their travels, as they come into this fixture after suffering two defeats across their previous four matches. A victory is much-needed, as they already find themselves six points off the pace being set by Sporting Lisbon at this early stage.
Porto will likely be the clear favourites in the betting this weekend, as they have still won seven of their opening ten matches this term. However, scoring goals has been a continued issue for the visitors, as they have netted just 13 across their opening ten league matches this term. Their most recent defeat was suffered at home against Estoril Praia.
Vitoria will also have pressure on their shoulders this weekend, as they look to get back on track after seeing their four-match unbeaten run come to an end last weekend. That defeat means that the hosts remain fifth in the top flight standings, but a victory over Porto could see them move ahead of their rivals on goal difference.
However, they will need to be much better this weekend than they were in their previous fixture, as they were edged out by Moreirense in their previous match in Portugal. Despite dominating the possession in that fixture, they could muster only two shots on target.
Porto’s record in this fixture is extremely dominant, as they have won 29 of the previous 35 matches between these sides across all competition. Vitoria have landed two wins over the same period. Porto have also won each of their last eight matches against their rivals in the league.
Given the issues that both of these sides have endured in the final third, it is likely that under 2.5 goals could be an interesting betting angle this weekend. However, the preference remains for Porto as they have a dominant overall record against their rivals in the league.
