Beira-Mar vs FC Porto Match Preview
FC Porto will look to bounce back from the disappointment of their Champions League exit as they travel to Beira-Mar on Saturday.
Euro 2004 stadium, the Municipal de Aveiro will host Beira-Mar v FC Porto on Saturday
Coach Vítor Pereira admitted the early exit from the world's greatest club competition was a bitter pill to swallow, but promised his team would be making up for the disappointment in other competitions.
The current champions of Portugal are in their customary position at the top of the Liga ZON Sagres table, level on points with Benfica.
With the Lisbon side facing a demanding trip to 4th-placed Marítimo, who have won all their home games this season, Porto will feel this weekend could be an opportunity to steal a march on their fierce rivals from the capital.
"I want to see the same FC Porto as in recent games, which has shown a lot of quality. Against Beira-Mar we want at least to play as well as we did in our last game, but this time to take the chances we create," said Pereira.
The game could see an opportunity given to Argentine wonderkid Iturbe, who is included in the squad for the first time for a liga match.
His creativity and scoring touch may well be needed against a Beira-Mar side who boast the best defensive recond in the league. The Aveiro-based club have conceded a measly 6 goals in 11 matches thus far, and are sitting comfortably in mid table.
"We will be facing a well organized team, which knows what it wants and causes difficulties to all its opponents. It's going to be a complicated game," said Pereira.
Kick-off at 6.30pm local time at the Estádio Municipal de Aveiro.
Beira-Mar vs FC Porto Match Report
FC Porto came from behind to beat Beira-Mar 2-1 in Aveiro.
Coming into the match on the back of the disappointment of exiting the Champions League somewhat unluckily, the Dragons put in a commanding performance but were so nearly left to rue missed opportunities again. The hosts took the lead in the 34th minute against the run of play when Chinese striker Zhang got between Maicon and Rolando to head into the net.
Porto hit straight back as James Rodríguez fired Hulk's lay-off into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
In the second half the visitors took control of the proceedings and it was no surprise when Hulk scored from a delicious Alvaro Pereira pass.
The Portuguese champions created and missed several chances to increase their lead, and in the last second of the match Porto breathed a huge sigh of relief as Beira-Mar's Elio headed wide of an open net.
