Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Porto come into this game having been undefeated in their last four Primeira Liga matches and they even won mid week in the UEFA Europa League against Hoffenheim.

Porto’s Wenderson Galeno is currently second in the Primeira Ligal Golden Boot race with six goals to his name in the eight matches so far. Samu Omorodion isn’t to far behind in that list in joint fourth place with the four goals that he has bagged. Either one of them could get themselves on the scoresheet and help Porto leave with all three points.

AVS Futebol SAD Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Guillermo Ochoa; Kiki Afonso, Cristian Devenish, Jorge Teixeira, Fernando Fonseca; Gustavo Assunção, Jaume Grau; John Mercado, Luís Silva (c), Issiaka Kamate; Rodrigo Riberio

Looking to try and stay in this league after promotion into it last season, AVS Futebol SAD are currently sat in 12th place in the league standings. Two wins, three losses and three draws means that they are sitting on nine points, just a three point gap to as high as ninth in the league.

AVS left back Kiki Afonso has been their best player for goal contributions when they have massively struggled for goals so far this season. He has a goal and two assists in the eight games of the league campaign but, as a whole, AVS Futebol SAD have only found the back of the net a total of seven times. If they are not able to change that before this match on Monday then it pretty much guarantees Porto a result with the lack of goals on AVS’ end.

Predicted Line-Up: Diogo Costa; Francisco Moura, Nehuén Pérez, Zé Pedro, João Mário; Alan Varela, Stephen Eustaquio; Wenderson Galeno, Nico González, Pepê Aquino; Samu Omorodion

FC Porto haven’t won the Primeira Liga since the 2021/22 season, but like every year, they have a great chance in doing so this season. At them moment they sit in second place in the league with just a six point gap to current leaders Sporting Lisbon. Seven wins and one defeat means that they are sitting on 21 points, but they do have a game in hand on Sporting so the gap is actually a lot closer than the six point gap they face as of now.

Dragões have been massively solid in defence in the early stages of the season. They have conceded only four goals this season, the second best in the league behind Sporting Lisbon’s two goals. The combined efforts of goalkeeper Diogo Costa have ensured that Porto have kept five clean sheets in the eight matches in the Primeira Liga. On the other side of the pitch and winger Wenderson Galeno has grabbed himself six goals as well as young talented striker Samu Omorodion has amassed four goals domestically. They could prove too much for the AVS Futebol SAD back line in Monday’s match.
