Farense vs Porto prediction
Farense
Farense currently occupy the penultimate place in the standings! And the team has huge problems in order to keep its place in the championship this season! In recent matches, Farense absolutely cannot win. Yes, the ending of last year turned out to be quite successful. But so far this year it's been a bit of a nightmare. There was not a single victory! But there is some stability in the fact that the Farences do not experience complete defensive failures. Because only Benfica and Sporting conceded three goals each. At the same time, they played with Sporting on the road. In the last match, the team lost solely because of Balde, who grabbed the red card out of the blue! I don't think anyone planned to play outnumbered from the first half!
Porto
There was a change of coach in Porto not so long ago. An Argentine young specialist has been appointed acting director, and so far he has not been able to win at all! Porto had a series of four defeats in a row! And then such a match with Santa Clara... We didn't score a penalty in that meeting, we didn't realize four scoring chances. And then everyone realized that it was time to fundamentally change everything. The passage to the Europa League playoffs did not give any prospects in the championship. Because we got Roma as our opponents, which we couldn't beat at home the day before. Such a failure against Rio Ave, where they miraculously did not lose in the last away match! And again, it was a very important derby against Sporting. So, due to luck, we escaped at the very end of the match...
Prediction
Porto have won nine face-to-face matches in a row now. As if everything is going very well for the team, plus it is one of the main outsiders of the Portuguese championship on the other side. But let's not forget that Porto is currently in a deep crisis. The team is absolutely unable to show anything in recent matches. The attack is suffering, the implementation is at zero. Already, out of desperation, they put in a young coach, but even that doesn't help. Porto have won only four out of ten matches on the road this season! And at the same time, there are four matches on the road in the domestic arena without a win. Balde will not play for the hosts, but the guests will not have Varela and Fernandes. The losses here are an order of magnitude more impressive than those of the opponent. So Porto will definitely not be able to defeat the opponent.
