21:45 Porto – Academica

The hosts have serious approach to this tournament and although some important players like Fabiano (goalkeeper), Alex Sandro (defender), Maicon (defender) and Casemiro (defender) are not in the group for this match, Julen Lopetegui still has a lot of options for any zone of the field.

“Estadio do Dragao” is (as usual) a fortress for F.C. Porto, as the hosts have won eleven of their previous fifteen games here, with two draws and only two defeats in this period (11-2-2 36-9 / all competitions).

Academica de Coimbra is not in so good form recently (1-2-3 3-8 in six games since the beginning of 2015), the Students have big problems in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and “Estadio do Dragao” is definitely not among their favorite places to visit (0-2-14 13-41).

Considering the current situation, I expect, that F.C. Porto will win this match with more than one goal difference.
