Porto visit the Municipal Stadium Famalicao on Saturday (May 20) to face Famalicao in the Primeira Liga, looking to stay in touch with leaders Benfica and keep alive their slim title hopes.
With 79 points from 32 games, the Dragons are second, trailing their rivals by four points with only two games remaining. That means a win for Benfica will seal the title, regardless of how Porto fare at Famalicao
However, the Eagles won't be in action till Sunday and play at Sporting CP, who have won their last four league games. It will be spicy, for sure, so Porto's title hopes will survive another day if Benfica drop points.
Famalicao, meanwhile, are down in eighth in the standings with 43 points and are winless in three league games. Back-to-back defeats to Sporting CP and Chaves was followed by a goalless draw with Vizela.
That has seen them drop out of contention for European football, and they don't have enough games left to make up for it.
