Porto v AVS: leaders host bottom club in Liga Portugal | OneFootball

Porto face AVS in Liga Portugal on Monday, 29 December 2025 at the Estádio Do Dragão, with the hosts looking to tighten their grip on top spot and the visitors fighting to climb off the foot of the table.

Porto have dominated the head-to-head, winning both previous league meetings against AVS, 5-0 away and 2-0 at home. First play 18th here, framing a clear title charge versus survival context.

Form backs up that picture. Porto are unbeaten in the league with 14 wins and one draw from 15, and they've posted 11 clean sheets. AVS are winless in the league but did draw 2-2 with Nacional last time out after heavy defeats to Vitória S.C. and Sporting CP.

The numbers point to contrasting profiles. Porto have scored 33 and conceded four in the league, averaging 55% possession with 85.44% passing accuracy. Their wide supply is consistent, with 170 open-play crosses at 21.76% accuracy and five headed goals, while Samu Aghehowa has nine league goals. AVS have scored 11 and shipped 39, average 43% possession, are yet to keep a clean sheet and have conceded six penalties. The hosts could look to control territory and use deliveries into the box, while the visitors may have to play on transitions.

A win would lift Porto to 46 points and further strengthen their lead in the title race. Victory for AVS would move them to seven points and could inject momentum into a survival bid in the relegation places.
