Porto will host Estoril Praia at the Estadio do Dragao on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Primeira Liga campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a largely solid start to their league campaign and remain in the race for the league title early on in the season. They beat Vizela 2-0 in their last game, with Mehdi Taremi opening the scoring from the penalty spot midway through the first half before Canada international Stephen Eustaquio doubled their advantage later on in the half.
Porto sit third in the league table with 22 points from nine games. They are three points behind Sporting at the top of the pile and will draw level with a win on Friday.
Estoril Praia, meanwhile, have failed to impress all season and currently find themselves in the drop zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Portimonense last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but failed to capitalize on their second-half dominance.
The visitors sit rock-bottom in the table with just four points from nine games and will be desperate for a positive result this weekend.

Porto are on a four-game winning streak and have lost just two of their last 13 games across all competitions. They are undefeated on home turf in the league since March and will be looking forward to Friday's game.
Estoril on the other hand have lost their last three Primeira Liga games on the bounce and have won just once in the competition so far. They are without an away league win in over a year and should lose here.
