Porto's Perfect Start Continues Against Moreirense

Porto is set to host Moreirense at the Estádio do Dragão in the Primeira Liga on Friday. The defending champions have maintained a perfect record in the league campaign so far. In contrast, Moreirense enters the match with one win, one draw, and one loss from their initial three games.

Last week, Porto secured a 3-0 away victory against Académico de Viseu, with goals from André Silva, William Gomes, and Gabri Veiga. Moreirense, on the other hand, registered their first league win, defeating Casa Pia 1-0 thanks to Francisco Domingues' early goal.

Historically, Porto has a significant advantage in this matchup, having won 27 out of 36 previous encounters. They also secured a league double over Moreirense last season and have won their last four games against them. Porto has been defensively solid, keeping clean sheets in their last six competitive matches and scoring at least two goals in their last six league meetings against Moreirense. The visitors have struggled away from home, with only one win in their last seven Primeira Liga away games and failing to score in three of those matches.

Looking ahead, Porto is expected to continue their prolific scoring run, having netted at least two goals in each of their four league games this season. They remain unbeaten at home in all competitions in 2026. However, Zaidu Sanusi is a doubt due to a substitution last week, and André Miranda, Oskar Pietuszewski, and Samu are sidelined with injuries. Despite Moreirense securing their first win and clean sheet recently, their past struggles against Porto, including failing to score in four of their last seven meetings, present a challenge. The prediction favors a comfortable win for Porto.
