Porto
🎙 Porto secured their 20th league victory by defeating Rio Ave 1-0 in the 23rd round, and Francesco Farioli was pleased with the positive outcome, despite the lack of goals: "We attacked well. We hit the post three times, but we created plenty of opportunities and several moments that could have led to a better outcome. We earned three points and move forward. It would have been nice to score a second goal earlier so we could control the game more calmly and finish it sooner, avoiding Alberto's yellow card and a potential injury to Bednarek from a crazy incident. That's part of the game. We played well, took three important points, and now we need to keep moving forward."
❌ The Dragons are dealing with a lengthy injury list. Nehuen Perez and Luuk de Jong are unavailable. Martim Fernandes and Jakub Kiwior also remain sidelined. Samu is still undergoing treatment. Additionally, Alan Varela will miss out due to an accumulation of cards.
Arouca
