Porto are back to domestic duties after their elimination from the Champions League, and they will be traveling to CD Nacional on Match Day 27 seeking to keep alive their title ambitions. Going to the game, Nacional are bottom of the standings with 21 points and Porto are second with 60 points. Nacional are coming from a run of eight straight losses in the league, and just two wins in the last 15 matches. The newly promoted side has managed just two clean sheets in the last 15 league matches but failed to score in only two of the last 10. Generally, it has been a bad season for Nacional, and at home, they’ve managed just three wins in 13 league matches. In each of their last four home matches, they’ve conceded twice and being just four points below 16th, with eight games to go, they have a chance at survival. Poor as they’ve been, Nacional have scored in each of their last five home matches in the league and as a result, each of the matches has produced over 2.5 goals.

Porto are six points below league leaders Sporting, who have drawn the last two matches. Having been eliminated from the Champions League, the champions will want to put up a late push for the title. They did beat Chelsea in their last game and will now give all in the league, hoping to upset Sporting in the remaining eight matches. Porto have been in great form in the league and head here with five straight wins and have scored twice in each, while conceding just two goals. Mehdi Taremi and Sergio Oliveira have been the point men for Porto in attack and their 22 goals are partly the reason why the team has the best attack in the league. Porto also have four straight away wins in the league, and are unbeaten in 10, with eight wins. They’ve scored two goals in each of the last five away league matches too.
