Last season's league winners will face-off with the runners-up of the Taca de Portugal on Saturday.

FC Porto, reigning champion and holder of the Portuguese Cup, will take on Tondela on Saturday as they look to snatch their 44th Supercup Cândido de Oliveira ahead of the start of the 2022/23 football season. The game will be the 12th time in the last 14 editions hosted at the Estádio Municipal de Aveiro, and the Dragons will be poised to make it a a record-extending 23rd Supertaca title.

With 91 points from 34 games and a six-point lead over Sporting Lisbon in second place, Porto easily clinched their 30th Primeira Liga championship last year. They finished the season undefeated in any domestic tournament at Estadio do Dragao, capping off an extremely remarkable campaign. They then easily defeated Tondela 3-1 in the Taca de Portugal to win the double.

Sergio Conceicao men enter the weekend with a flawless preseason record, having defeated Portimonense, Arouca, and French Ligue 1 team Monaco in their three friendlies. Since their only league loss of the 2021–22 season, a 1-0 loss to Braga on April 25, they have won each of their past seven games in all competitions, scoring 18 goals and conceding only five. As a result, the odds are very much stacked in their favor coming up against a Tondela side that will be seeking promotion to the Primeira Liga this season.

The team led by Nuno Campos had a disastrous season's conclusion, placing 17th in the rankings with just 28 points after 34 games. The possibility to save their spot in the league was lost to them after a heartbreaking 2-2 draw with Boavista in the season's last match at the Estadio Joao Cardoso.

Before the test this coming weekend, the CDT Auriverdes' problems are still very much alive. They come into the game after a lacklustre preseason stretch in which they picked up two draws and lost one of their three friendlies. In that period, they only managed two goals and three goals against.
