Porto host Moreirense at the Estadio do Dragao on Friday in the Primeira Liga. The hosts will be keen to return to winning ways as they aim for a third-place finish.
Porto lacked any attacking threat and were duly punished in a 2-0 loss to relegation-threatened Estrela Amadora last weekend. They can no longer earn UEFA Champions League qualification but are contenders with Sporting Braga for the sole UEFA Europa League qualification spot.
Moreirense, meanwhile, have nothing to fight for going into the final month of the season but could secure a top-half finish despite managing one win in their last five games.
Trending
They dropped points in a 1-1 draw with Nacional last time out. Moreirense are 10th, 12 points clear of the relegation zone.
