Boavista preview: A big win against AVS

Following a goalless first half at the Estadio Clube Desportivo das Aves last time out, Boavista slipped behind shortly after the hour mark against AVS. However, an equalising goal in the 67th minute was followed up by a winner from Abdoulay Diaby handed Boavista all three points, keeping their hopes of avoiding relegation alive.

Miguel Reisinho returns following a suspension but Marco Ribeiro, Luis Pires and Joao Goncalves all look set to miss this weekend's derby match.

Predicted lineup: Vaclík (GK), Ferreira, Abascal, Kakay, Fogning, van Ginkel, Pérez, Silva, Diaby, Agra & Bozeník

Porto preview: Eased past Moreirense

Despite falling behind at home to Moreirense last Friday night, Porto managed to score three goals without reply to claim all three points in their own backyard. Francisco Moura equalised for the home side in the 40th minute and a brace from top scorer Samu Aghehowa in the second 45 secured Porto a 3-1 victory.

Alan Varela makes his return to the squad following a brief suspension but Stephen Eustaquio, Vasco Sousa and Marko Grujic could miss the Boavista game through injury.

We're backing Aghehowa to shine against Boavista this weekend just as he did when the pair locked horns in December and the Spaniard helped himself to a brace.
