Portimonense will host Porto at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Primeira Liga campaign.
The home side have struggled for results of late and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They played out a goalless draw against Vizela in their last match and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Portimonense sit 14th in the league table with 23 points from 24 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
Porto, meanwhile, are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and remain alive in three different competitions. They thrashed Benfica 5-0 in their league game last weekend with four different players getting on the scoresheet to hand the Dragons their largest win over their rivals since 2010.
Following Friday's game, the visitors will return to continental action as they look to defend their one-goal lead against Arsenal in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie.

Portimonense vs Porto Prediction
Portimonense are on a five-game winless streak and have failed to score any goals in three of those games. They have won just one of their last eight home matches and could struggle here.
Porto, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back victories and have lost just one of their last 14 games across all competitions. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should see the visitors come out on top this weekend.
