Porto will entertain Vizela at the Estadio do Dragao in their final group game of the Taca da Liga on Friday (December 16).
Both teams are in contention to qualify for the next round, with first-placed Porto separated from last-placed Chaves by just one point in Group A. Porto kicked off their campaign with a draw before winning 2-0 at Chaves, thanks to Danny Loader's second-half brace.
Vizela, meanwhile, have played out back-to-back draws in their first two games, including a 1-1 draw against Mafra, where both teams had a player sent off in the second half.
The winner of this game will secure a place in the quarterfinals next week before resuming their Primeira Liga campaign later this month.

Porto vs Vizela Prediction
Porto have suffered just a couple of defeats at home this season and are strong favourites. They have never lost against Vizela, and the trend should continue.
Vizela have scored three goals in two games in the Taca da Liga but given their poor record against the hosts, Porto should eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Porto 2-0 Vizela
