- Venue: Estádio do Dragão
Porto continue their search for a first Portoguese top flight title in three years on Saturday night when they play host to Boavista.
Between the 7th and 28th of November, Porto had a forgettable spell. The Dragons went four games without a win with four defeats. Vítor Bruno's side have turned things around, registering four wins in their last five Primeira Liga outings, and won all three home games played in that spell without conceding.
Boavista are winless in their last five Primeira Liga games. The visitors failed to find the back of the net in three of those games, but only lost twice during that spell. And having lost just one of their last four league games away from the Estádio do Bessa, they will fancy their chances of picking up at least a point against Porto this weekend.
