On Saturday, March 16th, Porto and Vizela will compete for three points in round 26 of the Primeira Liga.
The hosts were coming off a horrific penalty shootout loss to Arsenal in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round-of-16 affair. The game’s sole goal came in the 41st minute, from Leandro Trossard. The Gunners finally advanced to the shootout, winning 4-2.

Vizela, meanwhile, secured maximum points with a 2-1 comeback victory over Farense. Vizelenses fell down to Ze Luis’ 17th-minute penalty, but late goals from second-half replacements Sava Petrov and Alberto Soro enabled them to complete the comeback.

Porto performed admirably over two legs against a high-flying Arsenal in the Champions League. However, Sergio Conceicao’s squad has struggled domestically, falling seven points behind league leaders Sporting Lisbon (who have played one fewer game).
Vizela, for their part, has gone undefeated in their previous three league games as they seek to defy expectations and avoid relegation.
Porto has been totally dominant in this match and is expected to win handily. We expect the hosts to take all three points with a multi-goal victory and a clean sheet.
