Porto vs Estrela Prediction
Porto started this season with huge expectations of competing for and potentially winning the league. However, Sergio Conceicao's side have not been at their best and currently find themselves seven points behind league leaders Benfica. The Dragons are winless in their last two games, suffering a shock defeat away to Arouca, as well as being held to a draw against Rio Ave last time out.
Estrela ended their seven-game winless run with their victory last time out to steer them out of the relegation zone. They will have their work cut out if they are to leave with anything against a determined Porto side with something to prove.
We are tipping the hosts to cruise to victory with a comfortable victory and clean sheet.
Prediction: Porto 4-0 Estrela
