Santa Clara Preview – Can Santa Clara bounce back?
An impressive 4-match winning streak was brought to an end last time out in the Portuguese top flight when they were handed a 2-1 defeat away from home at Moreirense but although they face high-flying Porto on Monday night, Santa Clara will be returning to home turf for this clash.
Recent wins against Famalicao, Pacos de Ferreira, Belenenses and Tondela have helped lift the hosts up into the top half of the Primeira Liga, and they also possess a home record which stands at 4-2-5 9/13 but this has been improved by recording back-to-back wins in their own backyard in recent times.
In addition, despite losing their last 5 meetings on the trot to Monday night’s opponents, Porto, the margins of defeat have been very slim as Santa Clara have lost just 1 of the last 5 encounters by 2 goals or more.
With Porto being in action during the week in the Europa League, Santa Clara will be confident that they can contain their visitors here.
Porto Preview – Can Porto return to winning ways?
Porto crashed out of the Europa League during the week when they were handed a disappointing 3-1 defeat at home by German side Bayer Leverkusen, with Porto losing 5-2 on aggregate, so confidence may not be at its highest in the Porto camp ahead of this clash.
Porto do bring a 5-match winning streak into this Primeira Liga match-up against Santa Clara though having despatched of Gil Vicente, Vitoria Setubal, Benfica, Vitoria Guimaraes and Portimonense respectively.
The visitors are therefore expected to win this upcoming clash and they also possess a decent away record which stands at 8-2-1 22/10 which includes winning their last 4 away matches on the trot, but have only won by a 2+goal margin in 3 of their 11 away matches to date.
