Porto and Moreirense will trade tackles for three points on matchday six in the Primeira Liga on Sunday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a goalless draw away to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Prior to that, they played out a 1-1 draw with defending champions Sporting Lisbon last weekend.
Moreirense also shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Famalicao on home turf last Sunday. Rafael Martins and Andre Luis were on the scoresheet for the hosts and Simon Banza scored a brace for Famalicao.

That draw left Os verdes e brancos in 15th place and they are just above the relegation zone on goal difference. Porto sit in third spot with 11 points garnered from five matches.
