Round 24 of the Primeira Liga gets underway on Friday (March 10) when Porto take on Estoril Praia at the Estadio do Dragao.
The visitors head into the weekend on a four-game losing streak and will look to end this dry spell.
Porto found their feet in the Primeira Liga with a 3-1 win over Chaves last Saturday (March 4).
Before that, Sergio Conceicao’s men were on a two-game losing streak. They suffered a 1-0 defeat against Inter Milan in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 on February 22 before losing 2-1 against Gil Vicente in the Primeira Liga four days later.
Porto are second in the Primeira Liga with 54 points from 23 games, eight points off Benfica.
Meanwhile, Estoril were condemned to their fourth consecutive defeat last time out when they were beaten 3-0 by Vizela at home.
The Canarinhos, who have now lost seven of their last eight games, sit 15th in the Primeira Liga points table, just six points above the drop zone. While Estoril will look to stop the rot, they're on a nine-game winless run away from home, losing seven times.
