AVS host Porto at the Estadio do CD das Aves on Monday in the Primeira Liga campaign. The hosts are 12th in their maiden top-flight season with nine points from eight matches.
They drew 1-1 with Arouca in their last league outing, heading into the break a goal down before Gustavo Assuncao netted a second-half penalty to level the scores and open his account for the club. AVS returned to winning ways last weekend with a 2-0 victory at Sandinenses in the domestic cup.
Porto, meanwhile, picked up a hard-fought 2-1 win over Sporting Braga last time out in the league. Porto returned to action after the international break with a 3-0 win over Sintrense in the Taca de Portugal before beating Hoffenheim 2-0 in the UEFA Europa League in midweek. Porto are second in the standings with 21 points from eight matches.
