Player to watch: Galeno
Galeno arrived at Porto in 2017 but never settled at the club and was sold to Braga in 2019.
However, after impressing during the 2021/22 campaign, scoring 10 goals in his opening 24 appearances for Braga, Porto signed the winger back in January and have never looked back since.
Porto's Brazilian winger has made a great start to the season
The Brazilian scored 31 goals in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons combined and has already scored five goals in his opening five appearances this season, so you can see why Galeno is our player to watch against Bodo/Glimt on Wednesday.
