Porto have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, hitting the target in one hundred percent of their last 6 games.

Malmö FF

DLDLWL

After being beaten in their last game against Nottingham Forest in Europa League action, Malmö and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

📋 Team News: Porto

Luuk de Jong (Knee injury) and Nehuén Pérez (Achilles tendon rupture) will be missing for Porto gaffer Francesco Farioli. Suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Yann Karamoh and Nehuén Pérez.

In our view, Dragões will probably make use of the 4-3-3 formation for this game and select Diogo Costa, Alberto Costa, Pablo Rosario, Jakub Kiwior, Francisco Moura, Victor Froholdt, Alan Varela, Gabriel Veiga, Pepê, S. O. Aghehowa and Deniz Gül.

ℹ️ Team News: Malmö

We reckon that Himmelsblått seem most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 system by sending out Melker Ellborg, Jens Larsen, Pontus Jansson, Colin Rösler, Busanello, Oliver Berg, Lasse Berg Johnsen, Adrian Skogmar, Sead Haksabanovic, Daníel Gudjohnsen and Emmanuel Ekong.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that Porto will, in all likelihood, convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

At the same time, Malmö FF are also probably going to find it difficult to get shooting opportunities but we do fancy them getting the chances to score, too.

We reckon that it will be a comfortable 3-1 win for Porto at the end of the 90 minutes.
