Porto will host Farense at Estadio do Dragao on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign. The home side have enjoyed a positive start to their season and now sit third in the league table with nine points from a potential 12 as they target a return to the pinnacle of Portuguese football.
They suffered their first defeat of the season last time out, losing 2-0 to rivals Sporting and could have no major complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
Farense, meanwhile, have endured a poor start to their season and have begun to fight for their top-flight status early on in the campaign. They were beaten 2-0 by Nacional last time out, conceding a goal in either half to cap an overall disappointing performance at the Estadio de Madeira a fortnight ago.
The visitors now sit rock-bottom in the Primeira Liga standings with zero points and will be looking to get their first points on the board on Sunday.
