Another game for the league leaders, who have a great opportunity to increase their lead over Sporting, who drew this round. FC Porto, who have been very strong playing away from home, i can say that Porto have played better away than at home and have won more easily. Porto is the only team in the league that has won all its away games.

Porto won their last league game 2-0, coming off 6 consecutive wins. After the League Cup defeat against Guimarães, where the coach rested many important players, apart from that defeat, the team is having a perfect season and the players are very confident.

For this game, the coach has the return of Borja Sainz, good news because he is a very important player.

Santa Clara did not play in the previous round, and they come into this game more rested but without Serginho, who is suspended. Santa Clara this season is not having as good a season as last year, when they managed to qualify for European competitions. Santa Clara is in 13th place and hasn't won in 3 official matches. Santa Clara only has 2 more points than the teams in the relegation zone, but has one game less, so the situation isn't too dire.

Home form has also been patchy, with just three wins out of eight Primeira Liga games at Estadio de Sao Miguel (D2, L3), a return that offers little encouragement ahead of a visit from a Porto side that has won six of the last seven top-flight meetings at this venue.

Diogo Calila is in the National Team.

It will be a very complicated game for Santa Clara because they will be playing against the best team in the league, which is playing very well. Porto will start very strongly, putting a lot of pressure on to dominate the game. Santa Clara might cause some problems, but they don't have the quality to stop Porto.

联赛领头羊的又一场比赛，他们有很大的机会扩大对竞技的领先优势。波尔图在客场的表现非常强大，我可以说波尔图在客场的表现比在主场好，而且赢球也更轻松。波尔图是联赛中唯一一支在所有客场比赛中获胜的球队。

波尔图以2比0赢得了他们的上一场联赛，此前他们已经取得了6连胜。在联赛杯输给吉马尔<e:1>斯之后，教练让很多重要的球员休息，除了那场失利，球队度过了一个完美的赛季，球员们都非常自信。

对于这场比赛，教练让博尔哈·塞恩斯回归，这是个好消息，因为他是一名非常重要的球员。

圣克拉拉在上一轮比赛中没有上场，他们在这场比赛中得到了更多的休息，但塞尔吉尼奥没有上场，他被禁赛。圣克拉拉队本赛季的表现不像去年那么好，去年他们成功晋级了欧洲赛场。圣克拉拉排在第13位，已经有3场正式比赛没有获胜。圣克拉拉队只比降级区球队多得2分，但少了一场比赛，所以情况还不算太糟。

主场的状态也不太好，在圣米格尔球场（D2, L3）的8场西甲比赛中只取得了3场胜利，在面对波尔图队的到来之前，这样的回归并没有给他们带来什么鼓励，波尔图队在过去的7场顶级联赛中取得了6场胜利。

迪奥戈·卡利拉在国家队。

对圣克拉拉队来说，这将是一场非常复杂的比赛，因为他们将对阵联赛中表现最好的球队。波尔图将会强势开局，给对手施加很大的压力来控制比赛。圣克拉拉可能会造成一些问题，但他们没有能力阻止波尔图。
