FC Porto has been impressive this season and comes into this match sitting in third place in the Primeira Liga standings. So far, they've accumulated 31 points, level with second-placed Benfica and five points behind first-placed Sporting CP.
The Dragons failed to build up on their 2-0 league win against Casa Pia after being held to a disappointing 1-1 draw against Famalicao away from home in their recent match. However, they did manage to find consolation in the UEFA Europa League, defeating Midtjylland 2-0 at home to extend their unbeaten run across all competitions to three matches (W2, D1).

Estrela Amadora has registered 3 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses in their last 13 games, leaving them in 13th place with 12 points. They have also maintained a three-point cushion over the relegation zone and are three points behind tenth-placed Rio Ave.
The Tricolours managed to put an end to their two-match losing streak across all competitions, securing a hard-fought 2-1 home victory against FC Arouca. Away from home, they are currently on a five-match losing streak and could find it challenging to secure a favorable outcome here.

FC Porto have enjoyed this fixture in the previous year, winning both encounters and outscoring their opponents 3-0. They will be aiming to secure their third consecutive win and keep piling the pressure at the top.
Estrela Amadora's poor away form and their struggles in the final third will be music to FC Porto's ears. This is why I recommend supporting the home team to secure a comfortable win at home while keeping a clean sheet in the process.
