Porto Set To Hold Firm Against Napoli

FC Porto arrive with three wins from their last five matches and will look to build on that run at the Dragao. Napoli have collected just three points from their opening three league games and sit 22nd. Porto have averaged only 0.7 goals per league game this season yet concede 1.5 at home. Napoli have scored 2.2 goals per game but also let in 2.0 while their defence is missing B. Badiashile and A. Buongiorno. The visitors have managed only one away league goal this term. Porto have not kept a clean sheet in any of their three league outings but rarely lose at this venue. The game could turn on whether Napoli can break down a compact home side that has taken three straight wins.
