Caretaker boss Jose Tavares will be hoping to steady the ship and guide Porto to their first win of the new year, though his first attempt ended in disappointment with a 1-0 defeat to Olympiacos at the Dragao in the Europa League in midweek.

With just three days to prepare after stepping in to replace Vitor Bruno, who was sacked on January 20 following three consecutive losses, Tavares was unable to halt the slump as Ayoub El Kaabi's 79th-minute strike condemned his side to another setback.

Despite ending 2024 on a high with four straight wins, Porto's fortunes have taken a sharp downturn, starting with a 1-0 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the Taca da Liga, followed by two shock results in the Primeira Liga — a 2-0 loss to Nacional and a 3-1 reverse against Gil Vicente, which proved to be Bruno's final game in charge — before their latest disappointment under the new gaffer.

临时主帅塔瓦雷斯希望能稳住球队，带领波尔图取得新年的首胜，尽管他的第一次尝试以周中欧联杯0 - 1不敌奥林匹亚科斯而告终。

布鲁诺在1月20日因连续三场失利而被解雇，塔瓦雷斯上任后只有三天的准备时间，但随着阿尤布·艾尔·卡比在第79分钟的进球，塔瓦雷斯无法阻止球队的低迷。

尽管波尔图以四连胜结束了2024年的高潮，但他们的命运却急剧下滑，先是在塔卡联赛中0 -1不敌里斯本竞技，接着是在西甲联赛中两场令人震惊的结果——0 - 2不敌国家，3-1逆转吉尔·维森特，这是布鲁诺执教的最后一场比赛——在新教练的最新一次失望之前。
