FC Porto closes the competitive calendar year with tonight's reception to Aves SAD, an opponent with a good memory in the recent past of the blue and whites. In a season as atypical as 2024/25 for the Dragons, the northern team ended up being easy prey, with two Porto victories in the two matches played. In the first, in Vila das Aves, in October last year, Samu shone: the Spanish striker signed the first of the two hat tricks that he has with FC Porto, in a challenge in which Rodrigo Mora scored a point for the main team for the first time. Everything indicates, moreover, that the duo will be the starters today. Samu will try to close 2025 – and a particularly productive month of December – in beauty, as will Mora, who, despite having Gabri Veiga lurking for a place in the middle, was in good shape against Alverca, confirming the good moment he is going through. Furthermore, in relation to the game at Ribatejo, three changes are expected in the eleven selected by Francesco Farioli, who once again called up Pedro Lima and Yann Karamoh. One of them is inevitable: Bednarek, boss of the Porto defensive line, returns to the axis to reconnect with Kiwior. Borja Sainz, suspended, is short. Image gallery 11 Photos
