What FC Porto need to seal the title next Saturday | OneFootball

FC Porto can be crowned national champions as early as this Saturday, in the 32nd round of the Primeira Liga, when they host Alverca at 8:30 p.m. at the Estádio do Dragão.

The title permutations are clear and also depend on Benfica’s result away at Famalicão, a match scheduled before Porto’s game. If Benfica lose, Francesco Farioli’s side will take to the field already crowned champions, becoming unreachable in the standings.

If Benfica draw, FC Porto will need only a draw against Alverca to mathematically secure the league title. In that scenario, matching the direct rival’s result will be enough to settle the title race.

If Benfica win in Famalicão, the Dragons will be forced to beat Alverca to celebrate at the Dragão. In fact, a win always secures the title for Porto, regardless of the other results.

With three rounds to go, FC Porto depend only on themselves and are in a privileged position to confirm the Primeira Liga title in front of their fans. The match against Alverca could therefore become the decisive moment of the season, with Porto just one step away from mathematically sealing first place.
