FC Porto are the clear stronger side heading into this match. They have looked good in recent away games, winning two of their last five on the road, while AVS have been struggling to get wins at home, drawing most of their recent matches and losing the last one. The recent history between these two teams also heavily favors Porto, as they have won the last two meetings, scoring two goals in each without conceding.

Although AVS will be playing at home, Porto are in much better shape and have a strong record in these matchups. This looks like a fairly one-sided contest, with the visitors expected to control the game and come away with the victory.
