Prediction published on 27/10/2023, 07:14  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 27/10/2023 at 08:15 in Liga Portugal Predictions

Third placed Porto travel to Vizela who are 16th in the Primeira League. Porto begin the weekend three points behind leaders Sporting who don't play until Monday. They are a couple of points adrift of second placed Benfica but they play the day before and are likely to be top by the time this game begins. Porto have only lost one league game this season, a 1-0 away loss at Benfica. Since that defeat they have beat Porimonense 1-0 at home, won in the Portuguese Cup and then won 4-1 at Antwerp in the Champions League. Only one of their last 20 games in the Primeira League has been lost and aside from that loss at Benfica they have won all their other three away league fixtures. Their last two league trips to Vizela have both been won to nil with five goals scored.

Vizela only have two teams below them in the league table with six points from their eight league games. They have only won one league fixture this season, a 1-0 home victory over Gil Vicente. Since that win Vizela have only earned two points from four games, both away draws. Home form produced four points from their first two games but since then there have been losses to Benfica and Portimonense. Only two of their last 12 home league games have ended in victory. They kept a clean sheet at home to Gil Vicente but have conceded at least twice in four of their last five games. We back Porto to win this and be ahead at both half and full time.
