Farense are having what you call a forgettable season in the Primeira Liga. They find themselves deep in the relegation zone and sit bottom but one in the league standings and are five points adrift of safety.
Their struggles this season can be attributed to their lack of creativity in the final third. They have scored the fewest goals than any other team in the league with rock-bottom Boavista faring better in this department — 14 goals.
In a heated clash against Nacional CD that saw both sides each receive a red card - it was the home team that found itself on the wrong end of a 2-0 scoreline at home courtesy of a José Gomes second half brace. That marked their third consecutive league defeat and remain without a win in six games (D3, L3).
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 3-4-3
Velho; Moreno, Falcao, Africo; Pastor, Carlos, Menino, Victor; Lopes, Tomane, Matias
FC Porto
Form: DDDLL
FC Porto, meanwhile, found themselves settling for a 1-1 home draw against Serie A opposition AS Roma in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League knockout playoffs.
The Dragons have seen wins hard to come by of late in the Primeira Liga as they head into this clash winless in their last five outings (D3, L2). In their most recent league match, they held table-toppers Sporting CP to a 1-1 draw at home, extending their draw streak to three games.
Martín Anselmi's men have fared better at home than on the road this season. On foreign territory, they are winless in three games (D1, L3) and have won just one of their last six matches.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 3-4-3
Costa; Djalo, Perez, Otavio; Mario, Eustaquio, Varela, Moura; Borges, Mora; Aghehowa

Expert Betting Tips
Indeed, FC Porto's recent form on the road has been underwhelming, but for some reason, I see them coming out on top with a commanding victory in this one.
The visitors have fared better in this fixture - in fact they've been dominant maintaining an unblemished record against Farense and I don't see such a side dropping points against a team that has been poor this season.
For my main prediction, I'm backing FC Porto to come out on top with a -1.0 Asian handicap. This has been a hit in six of their last nine encounters and I'm expecting the same trend to continue here.
Our main prediction for the match: Asian Handicap - FC Porto -1.0 for 1.72 with Bet365.
2nd prediction: Both Teams To Score - Yes for 2.09 with 1xbet.
3rd prediction: Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.87 with Betway.
