Porto take on Lille at the Estadio do Algarve on Sunday in a pre-season friendly fixture.

The game will be Porto's penultimate friendly before the start of the 2021-22 season. Sergio Conceicao's side have had a strong pre-season campaign and are currently on an unbeaten streak stretching back to April.

They will look to extend their unbeaten run when they take on the French champions on Sunday.

Lille's 10-game unbeaten streak ended in their 1-0 loss to Benfica last time out. This will be their final friendly before the commencement of the 2021-22 season.

Jocelyn Gourvennec will want his side to bounce back against Porto as they gear up to face PSG in the French Super Cup final next week.

Both sides have had strong pre-season campaigns so far and will be looking to secure a win on Sunday.


Porto vs Lille Head-to-Head

Porto hold a slight advantage based on the head-to-head record between the two sides, winning two of their last three meetings, with Lille winning the other.

The two sides last met in a friendly back in 2018, with Lille coming away as 2-1 winners. Goals from Xeka and Lebo Mothiba were enough to secure the victory, with Hernani getting on the scoresheet for Porto.
