We head to Porto and Estadio do Dragao for 2nd leg Taca de Portugal. In the 1st leg Porto won 1-0 in Guimaraes in what was a close encounter.
Porto are 3rd in Liga Portugal, miles behind Sporting and Benfica. This season has been poor overall, but they will take a Portugal cup for sure. Recent form is mixed with 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Vitoria are only 2 points behind Porto in the league after a solid season. Recent form is 5 wins, 1 draws and 2 losses.
Team news: Porto miss Pepe and Evanilson suspended. Fabio Cardosa is rated doubtful. Vitoria are possibly without Ricardo Mangas but he’s the only new issue.
Head-to-head statistics: 20 games – 17 wins Porto, 1 draws and 2 wins Vitoria.
Betting selection – Porto hold a one goal lead and with both sides closely matched this could be a tight affair. I would be surprised if Porto won this easily as they have not been as fluent as usual. Take Vitoria Guimaraes +1.5 goals at 1.75. We get paid on Vitoria win, draw and even a 1 goal loss!
