Porto dropped vital points in their Primeira Liga title chase in their 1-1 draw with Moreirense and will be hoping to recover them when they face Famalicao in the 30th round of matches. Hosts Porto, who are second in the standings have 67 points heading to the game, six behind league leaders Sporting. Famalicao, meanwhile, have 31 points, in 12th place. Porto needed an 86th minute Mehdi Taremi penalty to claim a point from their last match and with Sporting winning their game, Porto’s chances of defending the title are even slimmer. That was the first goal they’ve conceded in the last five matches and it will have great ramifications to their league campaign. In the Primeira Liga, they had three clean sheets ahead of the game and that was the third consecutive league game they failed to score more than a goal. In the last five league matches, they’ve won by more than a goal in just one. Taremi has been crucial for them in recent matches and in the last four league games, he has three goals. The draw was the first time in eight matches that Porto have dropped points in the league. They are however still unbeaten in 23 league matches and have three straight wins at home in the league and 10 in the 14 played there this season.

Famalicão are just three points above the relegation playoff spot and will feel they should have done better in their last game. They let a two-goal lead against Tondela slip away to draw 2-2, with both goals conceded just before half time. With just four wins in the last 15 league matches, there’s no question on their underdog status going to this game. They’ve lost six of the 15 league matches and one positive they carry to this game is having scored twice in three of their last five matches, but have failed to score in one. Porto haven’t been scoring a lot lately and in Famalicao’s form, this is an area the hosts will want to improve on, especially seeing that both sides have two wins in their last four meetings. Famalicao have two wins and two losses in their four meetings with FC Porto, and will be hoping to maintain a good away run they’ve had lately in the league, having gone three unbeaten ahead of this clash. They’ve won two of the last three; in between the wins, they drew with Sporting and as they seek to rise in the standings, they’ll be looking to stall Porto’s charge. Famalicao have done better away from home, with five wins in 14, compared to the two they’ve managed in 15 home matches.
