With the 2022-23 Primeira Liga title still not settled heading into the final matchday, Porto will host Vitoria SC at Estadio do Dragao on Saturday evening.

Porto are heading into the match on the back of a 4-1 win away to Famalicao last Sunday thanks to Mehdi Taremi’s four goals, all from the penalty spot, at Muncipal Stadium Famalicao. The result extended their unbeaten run to 14 games across all competitions, recording 12 wins in the period. Having registered 26 wins, four draws and three defeats from their 33 league-games this season, Sergio Conceicao’s men have kept their hopes of securing back-to-back league crowns alive. Meanwhile, Azuis e brancos have the second-best home-record in the top flight this term, having won fourteen of their 16 league-matches at Estadio do Dragao. Porto also secured a narrow 1-0 win over Saturday’s opponents in the reverse fixture in January thanks to Joao Mario’s effort on the stroke of half-time.
Vitoria SC, on the other hand, are also in very good form, having won each of their last four fixtures in the Primeira Liga, scoring seven goals and conceding only one in the period. Last time out, the Conquerors secured their 16th top flight victory of the season against Gil Vicente thanks to Anderson’s lone goal three minutes into the injury time. The impressive run of form has helped Moreno’s men to climb to the fifth spot in the table and they are now through to the playoff phase of the 2023-24 Europa Conference League. Meanwhile, Vitoria SC have won their last two away games in the league.
