Match Day 7 is here in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and giants Porto will be keen on stabilizing their title defence as they host Portimonense on Sunday. Porto have so far garnered 10 points and are placed fourth after six matches while Portimonense, after the same number of games, are 17th with four points. Porto have been a bit shaky in the season but seems the stability is coming back, after registering a second straight win in the Champions League. They will head to this game fresh from a 3-0 win over Olympique Marseille, which handed them their third win in four matches but after their loss in the last league game, they will want to stamp authority domestically as well. The champions are already six points behind leaders Sporting and cannot afford another slip up here, having lost twice and drawn one in their last four league matches. Porto have already conceded nine goals in the league; no side in the top 10 has conceded as much and the champions will need to work well on that area of their game.

They have let in two or more in three of their last four matches in the league while in their six league games, they have two clean sheets. The champions have however done well at home, winning two of their three league games this season. The loss to Maritimo in their second home league game this season remains their only loss in the last 12 home matches, with the team having won 10 of the 12. They have won each of the nine competitive meetings they have had with Portimonense. On the other hand, the visiting side has so far managed one win in the season. They beat Maritimo 2-1 three match days ago, adding to the one point registered in the season opener against Pacos de Ferreira. Heading to this game, they fell 2-1 to Santa Clara, making it four losses in their last five matches and the second time in four matches that they conceded two goals. Portimonense have failed to score in three of their last five matches and with just three wins in the last 11 league matches, they will carry the underdogs’ feel going to this clash. They have lost seven of the last 11 in the league and it has not been better away from home, with just two wins in 19 games.
