Porto Dominates, Aims to Extend League Lead
22 Dec
Summary
- Porto seeks a seven-point lead at the top of the league.
- Alverca sits 11th in the league, level on points with rivals.
- Porto has won four consecutive matches across all competitions.
The Portuguese Primeira Liga action heats up as Alverca hosts Porto on Monday. Porto, one of the league's two unbeaten teams, is aiming to widen their lead at the summit. They come into this match following a convincing 4-1 victory in the Taca de Portugal, extending their winning streak to four games across all competitions.
Alverca, meanwhile, experienced a setback last Sunday, losing 1-0 to Arouca after a brief period of good form. Despite this, they have shown promise in their debut season, currently occupying 11th place in the league standings. They are level on points with fellow teams Rio Ave and Estoril Praia.
With a significant disparity in form and experience, Porto is heavily favored to secure a comfortable win. Their impressive run of results and undefeated status in the league suggest another strong performance is likely against Alverca. The visitors have also shown a tendency to lead at halftime in recent matches.
