Usually going into a clash between the 2 giants of Portuguese football, at least one of the sides occupies 1st or 2nd place. However the big match of the weekend from Portugal sees a 3rd place FC Porto take on a 4th placed Sporting Clube de Portugal.
Tied on 10 points with only Porto’s superior goal difference seperating the sides, SCP travel to Estádio do Dragão with both sides looking to catch the in-form SC Braga and 2nd placed Benfica.
Porto manager Jesualdo Ferreira insists the loss to Braga last weekend has not dampened his player’s confidence going into the derby.
Both sides have injury worries with Porto missing strikers Varela and Rodriguez as both stars have picked up knocks in midweek training.
Defender Caneira is out for the visitors after an injury also picked up in training. He joins Pedro Silva and Andre Marques on the sidelines.
