Portimonense have won back-to-back matches by 3-0 scorelines over FC Penafiel and FC Famalicao. Paulo Sérgio's side are now in the hunt for an European spot for next season. Porto came from behind to beat Vitoria SC 2-1 last time around. Porto will count on the inspiration of Luis Díaz for another three points this weekend. Porto have won the last 11 matches between the two sides and that should continue here. 1:2
Bureaucratic issues have ruled Shoya Nakajima out of Friday's game. Fabricio should take his place out wide. Lucas Possignolo is back available and gives Portimonense the option to play a back five. Ewerton may play at the heart of Portimonense's defence if Lucas Fernandes fails to recover from injury in time. Pepe should recover from injury in time for this match but may be held back with an eye on next week's crucial Champions League match with Atletico Madrid. Fabio Cardoso should therefore start at the back for Porto on Friday. Vitinha made an impact off the bench last time out and could be rewarded with his sixth league start of the season here.
