Porto and Nigeria defender Zaidu Sanusi is on the verge of winning two titles with his team this season. This 2021/22 season might be the most successful of his career for the 24-year-old Nigerian defender, who primarily plays on the left-wing.

In the cup event, the Dragons, as their fans refer to Porto, are considered the favourites, with a 55 percent probability of winning.
The current rankings in the standings explain Porto’s massive advantage over opponents in the battle for the championship title. The Nigerian Sanusi’s squad leads Sporting Lisbon by 6 points after 23 rounds, and Benfica, which is in third place, by 12 points.
Sporting will be Porto’s key rival in the battle for the Portuguese Cup as well. The Dragons will face off against this metropolitan squad in the tournament’s semi-finals.
