Beira-Mar vs FC Porto Match Preview
These two teams met on Wednesday, only at the Porto’s Estadio do Dragao, with the Blue and Whites running out comfortable 3-0 victors. Both sides fielded weakened teams on that occasion, and given Beira-Mar’s excellent home record since returning to the top flight – just one defeat in seven matches – it is likely to be a far more close-run thing this time round.
Striker Falcao is an injury doubt for Porto. Should the Colombian goal machine fail a late fitness test, Brazilian Walter, who scored a goal, provided an assist and put in a fine display on Wednesday, will step in.
Beira-Mar coach Leonardo Jardim has promised “a different games at all levels” on Saturday, starting with the recall of a number of his rested first-teamers.
