FC Porto were dethroned in the Primeira Liga by Sporting Lisbon and this season they will hope to reclaim the title. They start the new campaign with a home match against Belenenses, who finished 10th last season. In their final league game last season, Porto thrashed Belenenses 4-0 for their eighth straight unbeaten game against the visitors. Moussa Marega is no longer with the Portuguese giants but Mehdi Taremi and Sergio Oliveira, who scored a combined 29 goals last season are still around. In their last 28 matches in the league, Porto lost none and they’ve also had a fine preseason winning three of four. They scored two or more in three of the four preseason matches, registering a total of 11 goals, but they had just one clean sheet, and conceded six in the four games.

Belenenses suffered three losses in their final five matches of the season and their preseason has also not been the best. In their last five matches Belenenses are not just winless, they have also failed to score in four of them. They have managed just one goal in the five matches – their most recent game, a 3-1 loss to AS Roma, and they have one clean sheet only. Three times in the last five matches, they have conceded two or more goals. Belenenses have already tasted defeat this season, losing 1-0 to Segunda side Mafra in the League Cup.
