Not long ago, Boavista was anchored at the bottom of the table and were bookmakers' favorites to be relegated. Entering matchday 33 in the Primeira Liga, they have risen to 16th place and occupy the relegation play-off spot. However, they'll have to be cautious in the remaining two games as they are level on points with the bottom two.
Recent meetings against FC Porto have not yielded positive results, losing two straight games. However, head coach Stuart Baxter will be confident that his team can get the job done this Sunday as they fight to preserve their 39 consecutive top-flight status.
Stuart Baxter has picked up two wins from his three games in charge (L1). The most recent of those wins was a 2-1 away win to relegation candidates AVS Futebol SAD. Home form has been an issue in recent weeks as they have lost four consecutive matches. It's still to be seen whether they can end this winless run by securing a surprise victory over FC Porto.

FC Porto are in a two-horse race with Braga for a top-three finish this season. They are in third place and are tied on 65 points with the aforementioned team in fourth place.
After suffering a shocking 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Estrela Amadora, the Dragons went on a redemption-seeking spree. Their victims were Moreirense, and they won 3-1 at home. Samu Aghehowa was sharp in front of goal, scoring two goals in the second half.
Martin Anselmi's men are on the road this time around. They have shown some improvements from the side that went on a three-match winless run from January 1 to February 3. Currently, they have won four of their last six games.

Boavista head into Sunday's clash against FC Porto, knowing that three points would make a very huge difference in them avoiding relegation this season. However, home is not where the heart has been for Stuart Baxter's men who have lost four straight.
FC Porto have been pretty much dominant in this fixture. I don't doubt their victory in this one. However, I want to be on the safe side in this one and settle for a high-scoring affair. In the reverse fixture, they won 4-0 at home, and a repeat outcome is undoubtedly on the cards.
