Wounded Porto becoming hard to predict

Porto are a wounded animal after losing back-to-back games for the first time in three and a half years, but can show their grit to get a win at lowly Chaves on Saturday. Sergio Conceicao’s side had built up a four-month unbeaten run that stretched for 22 games until they lost at the San Siro to Inter Milan and then at home to Gil Vicente in the space of four days.

The Champions League defeat to the Nerazzurri can be answered in the return leg at the Dragão next week, but they cannot afford to go into that game on the back of another negative result even if deep down they know the eight-point gap to leaders Benfica already feels too wide to bridge.

Sunday’s setback against Gil Vicente began well when Mehdi Taremi put them in front after four minutes, but two straight red cards either side of half-time left them hamstrung as the visitors grew in confidence.

Dragons will dig in for all three points

Conceicao’s strong character and record as Porto boss suggest the Dragons will overcome the suspensions and injury issues they currently have to find a way to win at Chaves. The hosts are in poor form with three losses in their last five and only one win from their last five at Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira.

However, recent circumstances make this a tricky game to read in terms of how many goals Porto might score or concede, so it may be best to just keep it simple with an away win bet.

Backing Porto to scrape through with a 1-0 scoreline appeals in this spot as they have won five of their seven away league games by either one or two nil scores, but Chaves have only shipped multiple home goals on two previous occasions this term.
