Porto vs Estrela prediction: Dragons to reign supreme
Key stats:
- Porto have conceded in only three of their 13 league matches this season.
- The Dragons have won 12 of their 13 top-flight games so far.
- Estrela have lost each of their last four visits to the Dragao without scoring.
Correct score prediction: Porto 3–0 Estrela
Estrela have picked up seven points from their last four league outings, matching the return from their opening nine matches and reflecting an upturn in results.
The Tricolores arrive in confident mood following a 3–1 victory over Arouca last weekend, but facing a Porto side that has barely faltered all season represents a far sterner test.
Joao Nuno’s men were comfortably beaten 4–0 by Sporting Lisbon in their most recent away match, and another difficult evening could await them at a venue where Porto have kept clean sheets in five of their six home league fixtures.
Pre-match analysis: Little margin for the visitors
- HOME: 2/9 (1.22) – 81.8%
- DRAW: 11/2 (6.50) – 15.4%
- AWAY: 12/1 (13.00) – 7.7%

There is a clear gap in quality between the two sides, and the odds reflect that imbalance, with Porto’s implied 81.8% chance of victory suggesting anything other than a home win would rank among the biggest surprises of the round.
Meanwhile, Estrela’s modest 7.7% probability of claiming all three points further underlines the scale of the challenge facing the visitors.
Our hot tip of a Porto half-time and full-time win is priced at 1.70, offering great value.
Most recent head-to-head: Upset in Amadora
The most recent meeting between both sides ended in a 2–0 win for Estrela in Amadora, although that result was their first victory over Porto in nine league encounters, having drawn one and lost seven of the previous meetings.
Porto preview: Two ruled out, one doubtful
Luuk de Jong is set to miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a knee injury, while Nehuen Perez continues his recovery from an Achilles tendon rupture. Meanwhile, Gabri Veiga remains a doubt for Monday’s clash after missing the previous outing.
Predicted XI: Diogo Costa (GK), Fernandes, Bednarek, Kiwior, Moura, Varela, Froholdt, Mora, Pepe, Samu & Sainz
Porto’s last five results:

Estrela preview: Nuno to stick to winning formula?
Estrela have an otherwise fully fit squad, though Guilherme Montoia could miss a second consecutive match after sitting out the win over Arouca.
Head coach Nuno may retain the same starting lineup, though Rodrigo Pinho is pressing for a place in attack following his goal from the bench last weekend.
Predicted XI: Trubin (GK), Dahl, Otamendi, Silva, Dedic, Rios, Barrenechea, Aursnes, Barreiro, Sudakov & Pavlidis

- 01/11/25: Casa Pia 3–5 Estrela (W)
Player to watch: Samu Omorodion
Samu Omorodion enters this encounter full of confidence after scoring three goals in his last two appearances – including a brace last time out – and will look to maintain that momentum facing an Estrela side he has failed to score against in his previous two meetings.
