Francesco Farioli’s side eased some pressure by seizing control of their Europa League round-of-16 tie with Stuttgart — securing a 2-1 victory in Thursday’s first-leg clash at MHPArena through strikes from Terem Moffi and Rodrigo Mora.

Porto’s home record is formidable — 10 victories from 12 top-flight matches at Estádio do Dragão this season, keeping 17 clean sheets across the campaign.

On Moreirense: The visitors are losing four of their last eight outings and have failed to win any of their three most recent matches. They have conceded in each of their last six games, and have lost their last seven league meetings with Porto — including a 2-1 defeat in this season’s reverse fixture.

## Team News

Porto will remain without attacking duo Samu Omorodion and Luuk de Jong — both ruled out for the rest of the season with knee injuries — while Nehuen Pérez continues his recovery from an Achilles tendon problem. Defender Alberto Costa serves a one-match suspension. [TOPUPLIVE](https://www.topuplive.com/news/4-new-characters-leaks-zzz-2-7-2-8-banners-roadmap.html)

Moreirense head into this clash short-handed, having only named six substitutes in their last match. Club captain Dinis Pinto is not expected to feature again this season due to a shoulder injury, while Álvaro Martínez (muscle), Michel, and Yan Maranhão are all doubtful.

## Our Prediction

Coming off a demanding continental trip in midweek, Porto may feel the effects of fatigue — though grinding out results under such circumstances is nothing new for the Dragons. The hosts have been particularly solid at the back in the league this season, keeping 17 clean sheets, and that defensive resilience could prove decisive on Sunday.

**Prediction: Porto 2–0 Moreirense**
