Team News

AVS Futebol SAD
Porto
  • Zé Luís had an interesting performance last time around and will likely fill Nenê shoes upfront.
  • Rafael Rodrigues is fully recovered and ready to fight for a spot at the left-hand side of the defense.
  • Tiago Djaló is enjoying a delightful moment, scoring in each of his last two appearances and will likely start alongside Nehuen Pérez at the heart of FC Porto' defense.
  • Fábio Vieira made an impact coming from the bench and might get his first start since his return to FC Porto.

Prediction

  • AVS extended their unbeaten run to three games by beating Os Sandinenses 2-0 in the Portuguese Cup. Vítor Campelos' men are usually a tough nut to crack, especially at home and the game against FC Porto will be no exception.
  • FC Porto finally got their first win in the UEFA Europa League by beating Hoffenheim 2-0 last Thursday. The Dragons come into this game on the back of 3 victories in which they've conceded just one goal, which demonstrates an improvement on their defensive process.
  • Playing at home, AVS have managed to make life difficult for their opponents and the fact that FC Porto could be worn out after Thursday's game could pave the way for an upset here.
