Chaves will host Porto at the Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Primeira Liga campaign.
The home side have endured a largely disappointing campaign and are rapidly running out of time to save their top-flight status. They were beaten 3-1 by Casa Pia and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing particularly in the second half.
Chaves sit 17th in the table with 23 points from 31 matches and will be desperate for a win this weekend as they look to avoid the drop.
Porto have struggled for results in the league of late and look set to miss out on Champions League football for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign. They played out a 2-2 draw against rivals Sporting in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a 2-0 victory before their opponents scored a quickfire double to snatch a point at the death.
The visitors sit third in the league standings with 63 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally this Sunday.
