Porto, Recent FormPorto manager Sérgio Conceição will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Boavista. Their share of possession in that meeting was 68%, while racking up 24 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Boavista, who had 7 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Conceição will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Estádio do Dragão.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at Estádio do Dragão, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
SC Braga, Recent FormSC Braga were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Vitória Guimarães. In that game they recorded 54 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 16 shots on goal.
Manager Artur Jorge will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 15 of their 16 games this season.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 3 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 5 games.
In front of goal, Simon Banza has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 7 times in that run of games.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
Porto have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against Os Arcebispos.
Playing at home, Porto have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced SC Braga in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Porto manager Sérgio Conceição ahead of this clash, with Iván Marcano (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Conceição a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
