Here's our Famalicao vs FC Porto Prediction analysis: After slightly missing out on the Primeira Liga title to Benfica last season, FC Porto will be looking to bring the title back to Porto this time around. They currently sit atop the league standings having amassed 60 points from 24 league games. Having enjoyed a stellar season so far, the Dragons look well on-course to clinching the league trophy. They have steamrolled their way through almost every single team they have come up against so far. However, with defending champions Benfica hot on their tails in second place, Porto will have to keep churning out positive results to retain top-spot.

Head coach Sergio Conceicao might be deserving of a pat on the back for the amazing work he has put in since arriving at the club. He seems to have risen confidence levels amongst the players – reflected in their display on the pitch.

With a game against newly-promoted Famalicao on the horizon, FC Porto will be looking to clinch maximum points against this foe. They will be required to put their best foot forward to see to it that the hosts are easily dispatched on Wednesday night.

Famalicao vs FC Porto Team News

Prior to the COVID-19 break, Famalicao were in action against Europa League faithful Sporting CP, turning in a performance of the highest quality. They were on cloud-9 on the day and were totally deserving of the comfortable win.

Playing in front of the home crowd, Famalicenses roared to an early lead with a well-taken goal in the fifth minute. The lead was soon doubled by the hosts as Diogo Goncalves found a route through the opposition defense with a cracking goal. Ultimately, they were two goals ahead just inside eight minutes.

The home supporters remained in fine voice as they continued to spur their players on. Sporting pulled one back just before half-time, giving them a lifeline. However, the game was soon put to bed by Famalicao as Goncalves grabbed a brace, sealing a comfortable 3-1 home victory.

FC Porto, on the other hand, were handed a tricky home game against fifth-placed Rio Ave on the last match-day. Backed to come away with the win, the Dragons fell short of pre-game expectations as they failed to see off their relatively weaker opposition.

Despite dominating proceedings for large portions of the game, Porto failed to muster a winning goal as they were forced to settle for a one-all draw, much to the dismay of the club supporters. With Benfica also dropping two points against Vitoria Setubal, the Dragons retained their spot at the summit.

For this fixture, FC Porto have to be considered favorites for the win. They are the league leaders and have been the best side within the cluster. Also, with only a single point separating Conceicao’s side from Benfica, they cannot afford any slip-ups at this juncture.

Famalicao’s shock win over Sporting last time out marked their first win in over ten league games. This shows how horrific Sousa’s men have been in recent fixtures. However, with a spot amongst the elite top-four mix to fight for, Famalicenses will feel motivated to secure a positive result here.

Famalicao vs FC Porto Predictions

The visitors have maintained an unbeaten status in each of their preceding seven league games. They have also been impressive in Europe with just two losses from their eleven Europa League fixtures. Having been held to a frustrating 1-1 home draw to Rio Aves last time out, the Dragons will be itching to set the record straight in this fixture.

Expect FC Porto to secure the win, scoring no less than two goals before the end of the ninety minutes. Also, the home side should have it within themselves to register a goal. As such, “the both teams to score” market seems the safest punt.
