FC Porto back to their league formula, turbocharged by Zaidu | OneFootball

FC Porto hosts Moreirense this Sunday at Estádio do Dragão, in the 26th round of the League, potentially increasing their lead over the Lisbon rivals to seven points, after Sporting postponed their match with Tondela. Follow the game live on Maisfutebol from 8:30 PM.

A match in which Francesco Farioli, after the rotation applied in the Europa League – with eight changes against Stuttgart – is expected to return to the usual "formula" for the League, reintegrating several starters, including Oscar Pieturszewski (who did not participate in the Europa League as he was not registered), Kiwior, Alan Varela, Martim Fernandes, Froholdt, Pepê, and Gul.

"Stuttgart? Priority is Moreirense, one of the best teams in the League"

Alberto Costa, serving a suspension, and Thiago Silva, absent due to mourning the death of his mother, will be out of the match.

Alberto's absence may allow Zaidu, in good form, to remain on the left flank of the defense.

Botelho da Costa: "Physically and mentally, FC Porto is the best I can remember"

Moreirense, on the other hand, has the opportunity to distance themselves from Estoril and Vitória de Guimarães and to close the gap with Gil Vicente and Famalicão. However, Vasco Botelho da Costa's team, with only one win in the last six games, is going through a challenging period, marked by several absences in the squad.

Leandro Santos is serving a suspension, while Dinis Pinto, Cédric Teguia, Yan Lincon, Michel, and Vasco Sousa remain out due to physical reasons.
