Relegation threatened Santa Clara face an uphill task when they host league leaders Porto at the Estadio de Sao Miguel in match week eleven of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Santa Clara are placed bottom of the table at eighteenth place with just eight points in ten matches while Porto sit atop of the table with twenty-six points from their ten fixtures so far. Santa Clara come into the game with a 2-1 loss to Belenenses in the Primeira Liga. The Belenenses defeat extends Santa Clara’s winless run to six games in the league. Santa Clara’s bottom placed position can be primarily attributed to their lack of goals and as well as lack of clean sheets. They have scored just seven goals while conceding twenty times in just ten matches, which is both the lowest and highest in the league. Santa Clara also have a disappointing head to head record against Porto. They have lost seven out of their last eight matches against Porto.

Porto come into the game with a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Milan in the Champions League. Their last game in the Primeira Liga was a dominating 4-1 win over Boavista. Sergio Conceicao’s men have lost just twice in the last sixteen games in the current season and the Boavista win meant that they are now winning for five straight games in the Primeira Liga. Porto also are unbeaten in the Primeira Liga so far and are firm favourites to walk away with three points against Santa Clara. However, Porto just lost to Santa Clara in a cup game a few weeks back in October.
