Farense vs Porto Preview
- Competition: Liga Portugal
- Date: Sunday, February 16
- Time: 06:00 PM GMT
- Venue: Estadio de Sao Luis
Farense vs Porto will take place at Estadio de Sao Luis in the Liga Portugal on February 16. On Sunday evening, the Portuguese giants Porto will travel to face relegation zone-placed Farense.
The Lions of Faro are having a season to forget as they are struggling a lot this season and are not able to get results. Now they will lock horns against FC Porto and despite being the home team they will not have an advantage since the quality difference between both teams is huge. Toze’s Farense are still waiting for their first win of the year as they have got only 15 points on the board in 21v games and are placed 17th-spot in the table just above Boavista. Offensively and defensively Farense are very poor this season and surely their record against Porto is also not good at all. This will be a tough task for them for sure and they will have to give their all to at least get a draw.
Porto announced that they had parted ways with Vitor Bruno late last month, and he has been replaced by 39-year-old Martin Anselmi. Under the new manager, Porto will hope to perform better and surely Anselmi is the man to lead them since his style of play suits FC Porto’s philosophy very well and despite being very young he is a promising manager. The Portuguese giants are sitting at the third spot with 43 points on the board. Still, they are seven points behind Benfica and nine points behind Sporting CP. This season their away record has not been very good and has dropped points and surely they will look to not repeat the same mistake against Farense. Seeing their record against Farense, FC Porto will be confident of getting their away win since November. This will be an exciting clash for sure.
On that note, let’s take a look at Farense vs FC Porto team news:

Key Players to Watch in Farense vs Porto
Tomane (Farense)
Even though he is not a regular starter for the team but his impact on the pitch is always visible. The Portuguese talisman is a very experienced player who has played for many different clubs. Tomane is a forward who is not a typical striker and also drops deep to help his team maintain the structure and defend well. Even though Farense is going through some tough times he is someone who can make a difference on the pitch.
In 12 matches he has played 759 minutes and has scored two goals. In the last five games, he has taken eight shots and out of it, two were on target. Tomane will be a big threat to Porto’s defence in the upcoming fixture for sure.
Joao Mario (Porto)
He is a relentless player who likes to press high up on the pitch, especially in the final third. His ability to operate as both a facilitator and finisher is incredibly valuable to FC Porto. He is an excellent finisher and does not miss many opportunities to score goals. Even though he has faced some criticism in the past for his attitude on the pitch but nobody can ignore his on-pitch performance.
In 14 games he has provided three assists, played 775 minutes and in seven UEFA Europa League games he has provided two assists. Even though he has not yet opened his goal tally he is always a threat on the pitch. In the last five fixtures, he also made two crucial interceptions as well.
Farense vs Porto Prediction
Porto has a brilliant record against Farense and surely they will look to continue their fine record against Farense and despite being the away side they are the favourites to win the match. Most probably Porto will win this fixture and will take all three points.
Predicted Score: Farense 0-3 Porto
