Pacos Ferreira vs FC Porto Predictions

• Porto have won eight and drawn four of their last 12 away games.
• Fewer than four goals have been scored in ten of those last 12 road trips.
• Pacos Ferreira have not scored more than once in 10 of their last 11 home games and not conceded more than two in nine of the 11.

Dragons can apply more pressure at the top

Porto’s bid to pile more pressure on Benfica continues this Saturday when they travel to second-bottom Pacos Ferreira looking for all three points. Goal difference is not high on the ranking order rules for the competition, so a win of any kind will do the Dragons as they look to close the gap to the leaders to just one point.

Porto have picked up some momentum again with three straight wins and can come through this relatively easy test with flying colours. The hosts are without two suspended starters, centre-back Maracas and goalkeeper Jose Carlos Marafona while they have fitness doubts over three other key men.

Pacos Ferreira squad is stretched thin

Cesar Peixoto’s squad is not deep enough to cope with almost half his best team being out, particularly against one of the giants of Portuguese football, so an away win can be expected.

But Porto have not been thrashing even the struggling sides on the road this season, winning with a one or two-goal margin most of the time.

Hence, the shrewd play is to take them to win with fewer than four goals in the game and a 2-0 correct score bet makes the most sense too.
