FC Porto vs Paços De Ferreira Match Preview
The weekend action in Portugal kicks off with a family affair, as FC Porto coach Vítor Pereira prepares to face Paços de Ferreira, who are coached by his brother-in-law, Luís Miguel.
Porto coach Vitor Pereira pits his wits against his brother-in-law on Friday night
After a torrid start to his managerial career at Paços, things have taken a turn for the better for Miguel. Four straight defeats in his first four games have been followed by wins in his last two matches, including last week’s victory against high-flying Académica.
As for FC Porto, the jury is still out as regards their start to 2011/12. A poor start to their Champions League campaign, compounded by the fact the Dragons are coming off such a memorable season, have combined to raise doubts surrounding the suitability of Vitor Pereira as a worthy successor to André Villas-Boas.
However, closer inspection of his record renders the criticism coming his way somewhat unfair. In the Liga ZON Sagres Porto are joint top having won six and drawn two of their eight games.
What’s more, they have been scoring for fun. The 22 goals hit so far this season is the most goals scored after eight matches since way back in 1951! Hardly a crisis then, that some analysts have been suggesting.
Otamendi and Fucile are again left out of what is an otherwise full-strength Porto squad.
Kick off at the Estádio do Dragão at 8.15pm local time.
FC Porto vs Paços De Ferreira Match Report
FC Porto continued their free-scoring ways in the Liga ZON Sagres with a comfortable 3-0 victory overy Paços de Ferreira at the Estádio do Dragão
Despite a poor Champions League campaign thus far, Porto have been racking up an impressive series of results in the domestic league. The sequence continued with a straight-forward win over Paços. The visitors initially acquitted themselves well, and were unlucky to go into the break 1-0 down when Melgarejo scored an unfortunate own goal just before the half-time whistle.
Porto were struggling to find their rhythm, and improved markedly after coach Vitor Pereira brought on substitutes Kleber, James Rodríguez and João Moutinho.
Kleber doubled Porto's lead on 64 minues when he followed up on a James shot that hit the post.
Moutinho completed the scoring in the 84th minute with a rasping left footed finish.
Porto go three points clear at the top of the table, at least for 24 hours, and now wait to see if Benfica can draw level on points with them. Benfica host Olhanense on Saturday night.
