After a 1-0 triumph over Vitoria de Guimaraes in the first leg of the Taça de Portugal semi-final, FC Porto failed to replicate the same success this time in the league, where they succumbed to a narrow 2-1 defeat at home against Álvaro Pacheco's team. 

In light of this result, the Dragons have suffered two consecutive defeats in the league, something that they have not experienced since 2016. They enter this match aiming to return to winning ways and put an end to their winless run as they go up against a side they've gotten the better of in their last nine matches (W9).

With 58 points accumulated from 28 matches, FC Porto still finds themselves occupying third place in the Primeira Liga standings, where they've maintained a two-point cushion over fourth-placed Braga.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Famalicao, on the other hand, were all smiles at the Stadium Municipal 22 de Junho as they secured a narrow 3-2 victory against FC Vizela thanks to Jhonder Cádiz's winning goal in the dying embers of the game. 

In light of this result, Famalicao extended their winning streak in the league to two matches while avoiding defeat in their last three matches. As they enter this match brimming with confidence, they aspire to extend their unbeaten run in the league to four matches by securing a favorable outcome against a side they've failed to defeat in their last nine matches.

With 34 points accumulated from 27 matches, Famalicao sits in eighth place in the Primeira Liga standings, three points ahead of ninth-placed Casa Pia.

Formation: 4-2-3-1
