FC Porto are in really poor shape at the moment, having lost their last three matches and four of their last five. They are struggling badly and need to turn things around. Alverca aren't doing much better, though. They have lost four of their last five games and only managed a single draw in that time, so they are also in a difficult spell.

The last two times these teams met, the games saw a total of just four goals, with Porto winning one and losing one. Given both sides are low on confidence and finding it hard to win, this match looks like it could be a close and scrappy affair. I think this match will end in a draw.
