At Sporting Braga, Sergio Conceicao’s team initially had no intention of giving away as a safe champion. In any case, the early lead of the Drago through Uribe in the 6th minute indicated this. In the second 45 minutes, the FCP quickly gave up the lead (54th, Ricardo Horta). In the middle of the second half, the home team scored a 2-1 victory goal by Fransergio (66th).
The Conceicao eleven won six league games in a row before defeat in Braga and had been undefeated for eight games (seven wins). In the NOS league, there was no better offensive (74 goals) and no safer defence (22 goals) than FC Porto’s. Thus, the 29th championship of the club’s history was absolutely deserved.
Three players scored double-digit goals for the Drago in the recent season – the two forward Moussa Marega (12 goals) and Soares (10) scored 22 goals together. Defender Alex Telles scored 11 goals, but also scored ten penalties, of which he turned eight.
Porto Coimbroes (5:0), Vitoria Setubal (4:0), Santa Clara (1:0), Varzim (2:1) and Acdemico Viseu (1:1, 3:0) were eliminated in the cup competition. The FCP also celebrated their last cup victory in the final against Vitoria Guimaraes (6-2). But this success dates back nine years.
Shoya Nakajima (special holiday) and injured Ivan Marcano will not see the final on the lawn.

We do not see a favourite between Benfica Lisbon and FC Porto in the final of the Taca de Portugal. However, the dragons are currently in better shape. After the Conceicao eleven had spared themselves in the last league match at Sporting Braga (1-2) and went into the final as a freshly baked champion, the eagles had to hand over the championship title and now hope for the next cup title after 2017. The Verissimo eleven were in good shape after last four wins from five league games. But Porto also impressed before the last bankruptcy against Braga with six threes in a row and seven wins from eight games. We are betting on an open cup final between two teams of almost identical strength. We bet that FC Porto will win the double and win the trophy for the 17th time in a goal-rich final. For this tip forecast we recommend the goal bets on the market „Both teams meet? YES“, where odds average around 1.80.
