Porto will resume their Portuguese Primeira Liga campaign against Moreirense on Sunday after a 2-1 win over Lazio in their Europa League fixture on Thursday.
They travel to the Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas on Sunday.
Porto are the league leaders in the Portuguese top-flight and the only side without a defeat in the league after 23 games. They played out a 2-2 draw at home to Sporting, a game that saw five red cards, as Mehdi Taremi's 78th-minute strike sealed one point from the game against their fierce rivals.
Moreirense fell to a 5-0 defeat at Famalicao in their previous league outing. The hosts leapfrogged Moreirense to 15th place in the league standings with that win.
