Porto will host Estrela Amadora at the Estadio do Dragao on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league of late but remain firmly in the title race following recent slip-ups from champions and league leaders Sporting.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Famalicao in their last league outing, heading into the break a goal down before Samu Aghehowa leveled the scores early after the restart. They then returned to winning ways during the week as they beat Midtjylland 2-0 in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
Estrela Amadora, meanwhile, have had their struggles this season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They beat Arouca 2-1 in their last match falling behind in the opening five minutes of the contest before completing a comeback victory in the second half via an own goal and a late strike from Rodrigo Pinho.
