FC Porto Team News
Porto played an excellent group stage of the Champions League. Sergio Conceicao’s team won 12 points from 6 matches played and, as the first-place team in Group B, qualified for the knockout stage of the most elite European football competition, where they will meet Inter from Milan in the play-off.
It seems that Porto played their best at Europe this season, considering that they are already 8 points behind bitter rival Benfica in the Portuguese championship after 13 rounds played. After losing at home to Benfica with a score of 0-1, Porto tied 5 wins and a draw in the next 6 matches, and it is evident that their form is on the rise.
The only question that remains is how they will play in the Allianz Cup, which they have never won before. They are playing in Group A this year with Mafra, Chaves and Vizel.
In the next match against Mafra, Porto will perform with a changed lineup due to the representative commitments of players at the World Cup, but even without them, they have a good enough team to secure victory.
CD Mafra Team News
Mafra is already competing in the second tier of Portuguese football for the fifth season in a row. Currently, after 13 rounds played, they are in 12th place in the table with 16 points won and a score of 4 wins, as many draws and 5 losses. Last season they finished in position number 9, and this season they will try to be better.
This will be the second match between Mafra and Porto in a very short period, only this time in the League Cup. In the previous meeting, Porto routinely achieved a convincing victory of 0-3.
Mafra plays attractive football in the championship, but against Porto, even in a combined team, they are outsiders. The only thing they can do is try to avoid a heavy defeat.
H2H

FC Porto vs. CD Mafra Prediction
Porto scored less than 3.5 goals in 6 of the previous 10 matches. Considering that on Friday, due to participation in the World Cup, as well as injuries, they will play without a large number of key players, we do not expect a match with a large number of goals, so we that’s why we decided on this combination.
Kick-off time: Friday, 25.11.2022. 21:45 CET
Prediction: Total goals under 3.5
Odds: 1.87
