Porto back to their league formula, boosted by Zaidu’s turbo | OneFootball

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

In this match, Francesco Farioli, after rotating the squad in the Europa League—with eight changes against Stuttgart—is expected to return to the usual “formula” for the League, bringing back several starters, including Oscar Pieturszewski (who did not play in the Europa League as he was not registered), Kiwior, Alan Varela, Martim Fernandes, Froholdt, Pepê, and Gul.

“Stuttgart? The priority is Moreirense, one of the best teams in the League”

Alberto Costa, who is serving a one-match suspension, and Thiago Silva, absent due to mourning his mother's death, will be out of the match.

Alberto’s absence could allow Zaidu, who is in good form, to remain on the left side of the defense.

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

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

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