Porto vs Farense Prediction

Porto narrowly missed out on the league title last season to Benfica. Sergio Conceicao's side will be looking to return to the summit and winning games like this could be crucial to their title aspirations.

The Dragons were not too impressive in their opening game but got the job done. They will expect to be more convincing in a home game against a newly-promoted side. Farense were totally outplayed and decimated against Casa Pia, highlighting that they need to step up if they are to avoid a long-drawn-out relegation battle.

We are backing the hosts to claim a comfortable win.

Prediction: Porto 3-0 Farense
