A blue wave of more than 3,000 Porto fans will break into Pacos de Ferreira for Saturday’s game (20:30, Sport TV 1), which the Dragons must win to keep the pressure on leaders Benfica.
The reduction of the punctual difference from ten to four points in the last two rounds (Benfica lost to Porto and D. Chávez with a score of 1:2 and 0:1 respectively) revived Porto’s hopes of regaining the title.
This euphoria, which the directors try to keep to a minimum, is huge among the fans, who have already sold out the three thousand tickets available. With a capacity of 9 thousand spectators, P. Ferreira’s average per game is 4331, which will be significantly exceeded.
The only thing the Dragons are missing is an injured Joao Mario, but they have six players with yellow cards who could miss out on the 30th Invicta derby against Boavista.
These are Pepe, Otavio, Uribe, Galeno, Wendell and Fabio Cardoso. Sergio Conceição will not skimp on the suffering P. Ferreira.
