FC Porto host Famalicão with a commanding record at the Dragão | OneFootball

The season is drawing to a close and FC Porto still have their eyes on the title, hoping to keep the race alive until the 34th round of the Primeira Liga. The Dragons do not want to let slip an achievement that could restore them to the top of Portuguese football, but to do that they will have to keep winning in the seven rounds still to play before the champions are crowned.

The team coached by Francesco Farioli remains top of the table with 72 points, seven more than Sporting and Benfica, although the Lions still have a game in hand against Tondela. This means that if Sporting beat Tondela, FC Porto will have a four-point lead over second place.

It may seem like a slim advantage and far from some of the bigger gaps previously seen in the Primeira Liga, but the truth is that FC Porto have the tools to avoid any slip-ups until the end of the championship. After the 2-1 win at Braga’s ground against SC Braga, the Dragons have, at least in theory, more manageable opponents in the final seven rounds.

The next opponent is Famalicão, a side that has performed well this season and sits fifth in the Primeira Liga with 45 points. Although the players coached by Hugo Oliveira are seen as a difficult opponent because of the football they play, FC Porto know well how to beat the Minho side.

The match is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. next Saturday, as part of the 28th round of the Portuguese league.

Blue and whites with a clear edge in wins

The history between FC Porto and Famalicão is not very extensive, but it is Porto who have the highest number of wins. In total, the two teams have already faced each other 33 times, across the Primeira Liga, Portuguese Cup and League Cup.

The record is clearly in FC Porto’s favour, with 33 wins, compared to just four for Famalicão. The remaining five matches ended in draws.

If only the games at the Dragão Stadium are counted, as will be the case next Saturday, the picture remains very similar. FC Porto have a 76% win rate, corresponding to 13 victories, while Famalicão have managed to win only once.

You have to go back to the 2019/20 season to find Famalicão’s last win against the Dragons. The previous ones date back to 2015/16, 1992/93 and 1946/47.

What do the stats look like this season?

In 2025/26, FC Porto could not have a better record against Famalicão, having won both matches played between the teams.

In the first half of the league season, in November 2025, Famalicão hosted the Dragons in the 11th round and Victor Froholdt scored the goal that secured all three points for FC Porto.

The following month, the blue and whites did more than just edge a narrow win and thrashed the Minho side 4-1 at home, securing qualification for the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup.

It now remains to be seen what the outcome will be next Saturday and whether FC Porto will take another important step in the title race or whether Famalicão will be able to stop the Porto side.
