Command Analysis

FC Porto

Current form
Porto started the season with a victory in the Portuguese Super Cup, and had a series of three victories in a row in the championship. The loss of several important players in the summer, as well as a change of coach, were initially painless, under the leadership of Vitor Bruno, the "dragons" showed quality football and justified their status as contenders for the title. However, a 0:2 defeat to Sporting in the last round showed that the team has plenty of weak points.

Farense
