How to watch Porto game live
In Brazil, this Thursday’s game will not be broadcast, but fans in Portugal will be able to watch it on SPORT TV.
Porto arrives for this clash looking to recover in the competition. With just four points from four games, the team occupies 22nd place in the table, close to the elimination zone. Recently, the Dragons faced a sequence of negative results, including elimination in the Portuguese Cup by Moreirense and a significant defeat to Benfica in the national championship.
On the other hand, Anderlecht is going through a more positive moment. With ten points, the Belgian team is in fifth place and is on a run of five games without losing, including four wins and one draw. In the Belgian championship, they occupy fourth place, eight points behind leader Genk.
Anderlecht, playing at home, should adopt an aggressive stance, taking advantage of the good form of their attackers, especially Kasper Dolberg, who has stood out in recent matches. The defense, led by Jan Vertonghen, seeks to maintain the solidity shown in recent games.
Porto, in turn, needs to balance the defensive sector, which has suffered from instability in recent games, and improve the efficiency of the attack. The presence of Galeno and Samu Aghehowa offers options of speed and creativity, fundamental to surprising the opposing defense.
