| Francesco Farioli is delighting the Porto crowd. He has transformed the previously struggling Portuguese top club into a championship contender once again and is hoping for a comeback at the Estadio do Dragao in the game vs Sporting Lisbon match. The 37-year-old coaches the Portuguese league leaders in an intense yet compact defensive style. Despite a strong desire to win the ball high up the pitch, the team rarely lacks a keen sense for defending. This has helped the home side maintain a league record of 19 clean sheets which is the best in the league. Porto have only lost one home game this season across all competitions. We rule out another defeat at home in our Porto vs. Sporting Lisbon prediction. The hosts are definitely capable of overturning the 0-1 deficit from the first leg. |
