Match Preview:
Porto left it until the dying moments at Red Bull Arena to preserve their winning streak across all competitions, with William Gomes coming off the bench to secure all three points.

That late strike means Francesco Farioli is still yet to see his side fall short since taking charge after the Club World Cup, guiding the Blues and Whites to seven consecutive victories in competitive matches, including last weekend’s emphatic success at Vila do Conde.

Three unanswered goals against Rio Ave ensured Porto remained top of the table, entering Monday’s encounter one point clear of Benfica, who defeated Gil Vicente in their own matchday seven fixture on Friday.

The hosts approach the contest buoyed by last weekend’s 2-1 comeback win at Nacional, which ended a four-game barren spell and brought renewed optimism.

Arouca fell behind from the spot when Jesus Andres Ramirez Diaz atoned for an earlier miss, but Boris Popovic equalised before Espen van Ee came off the bench to net an 89th-minute winner that secured a second win of the campaign for Vasco Seabra’s men.

The Wolves’s only other victory came in an opening-day success over AVS, with two consecutive draws against Rio Ave and Vitoria de Guimaraes sandwiched between a heavy 6-0 defeat at Sporting and a 2-0 reverse against Casa Pia before last weekend’s win.

Match Prediction:
There may be lingering fatigue for Porto from back-to-back away fixtures, but we cannot overlook the Dragons’s explosive form and their ability to still grind out maximum points at Arouca on Monday, so a narrow win for the visitors looks likely.
