Vizela will square off against reigning champions Porto at the Estádio do Vizela in their second Portuguese Primeira Liga fixture of the season on Sunday.
Both teams kicked off their league campaigns with a win as the hosts eked out a narrow 1-0 victory over the newly promoted Rio Ave. Porto recorded a 5-1 win over Maritimo, with in-form striker Mehdi Taremi bagging a first-half brace.
Porto have maintained their 100% record from the pre-season and are strong favorites here. Vizela have never recorded a win against the visitors and will be hoping that the home advantage does the trick for them.
