Team News

Gil Vicente
Porto
  • Andrew and Santi García should return to the starting XI after being rested in midweek.
  • Pablo Felipe could start out wide after a decent performance against Gil Vicente.
  • Nico González returns to action after missing out against CD Nacional.
  • João Mário should earn another start at right-back as Martim Fernandes remains injured.

Prediction

  • Gil Vicente booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup by beating Moreirense last weekend. They look increasingly solid and haven't lost in six games.
  • FC Porto missed Nico González against Nacional, as the team never looked fluid in their attacking process, and ended up losing 2-0 to the Madeirans. They'll want to react immediately to keep the pace in the title race.
  • Playing in Barcelos has been difficult, with both SC Braga and Sporting dropping points there. With that in mind, this game won't be a walk in the park for FC Porto, but they should find a way to win it.
