Sérgio Conceição, Porto's coach, spoke about what he expects from the match against Famalicão: "I expect a Famalicão that has been like this season, even with João Pedro, a Famalicão that is always competent, that will certainly do better than we expected. We've analyzed the last two games, which have to do with this new coach, Armando [Evangelista]. The team is well equipped, with quality players, we're going to face a good team from our league. The main danger is everything that comes from our team, the atmosphere we can or can't create and, sometimes, the incidences of the game itself. We haven't had much luck with some situations in games, and I remember some unfortunate things about the 3rd team [referees] not marking situations that would have changed the game. I watched our last game against Vitória and we had 23 fouls, very few cards, and the game was interrupted frequently... We're the last team with less playing time and that means something, it shows that we want to win games. We want to keep up a high tempo of play, but it's difficult, there are yellow cards... We've beaten some very good teams in terms of organization, but there are situations where we look at FC Porto and see that they're second-to-last in terms of playing time and that's not normal. But there's also been a lack of ability on our part to turn things around, that's happened too. That's important too. The field technicians of all the teams are very good, but there is the more emotional side of the game, which means that focus, the ability to be intense, aggressive, is often controlled by the emotional state. We work on that. It's a very important function, as is the strategy we define, and it's not easy. At the moment, it's perhaps the most difficult year in this regard, given what the club is going through... I wouldn't rule out the possibility of some points being lost through our own fault. There are always situations to be analyzed in terms of what we have and what the game gives us positively and negatively. We have to take what didn't work and go out and work on it. But there are always some negative situations that prevent the team from finding more solutions - punishments, injuries? - but we're here to find solutions, so that the team goes into the game focused on what it has to do. There's no point in looking at what's happened, we have to work on it and focus on tomorrow's game. Some journalists know that we had two training sessions here in the two days after the win. I like to face up to the problems, I can't hide them under the carpet, we have to talk about them. We can't kiss and kiss. Depending on the moment, we'll adjust our training, whether it's a two-day session or not. I'm paid for this, to take the team out of a less positive situation and turn it around, to become a happy team again, to get the positive results we want."

Famalicão's probable team for the match is: Junior, Nathan, Riccieli, Mihaj and Sá; Youssouf, Topic, Moura, Rodríguez and Chiquinho; Cádiz.

Porto's probable team for the match is: Diogo Costa, Sánchez, Otávio, Fábio Cardoso and Wendell; González, Varela, Pepê, Galeno and Namaso; Evanilson.

Porto will be without Pepe, Sanui, Marcano and Francisco Conceição, who are injured. Famalicão will only have Henrique Araújo injured.
