Gil Vicente will host Porto at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Primeira Liga campaign.
The home side have had mixed results in the league this season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They returned to winning ways last weekend with a 3-1 comeback victory over Estoril Praia featuring goals from three different players including Juventus loanee Felix Correia.
Gil Vicente sit 10th in the league table with 25 points from 22 matches and will be looking to add to that tally here.
Porto have hit a rough patch in the Primeira Liga of late and are falling behind in the title race. They beat Estrela Amadora 2-0 in their last league outing, with Wenderson Galeno and Joao Mario getting on the scoresheet in either half before picking up a narrow but largely deserved 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 clash.
The visitors sit third in the table with 48 points picked up so far. They are seven points behind second-placed Benfica and will be looking to reduce that gap on Sunday.
