Porto resume Primeira Liga duties, aiming to preserve their advantage at the summit when they welcome Europe-chasing Famalicao to Estadio do Dragao on Saturday.
The Dragons hold a seven-point cushion with seven matches remaining, while the visitors occupy fifth place and remain firmly in the hunt for continental qualification.
Victory for the hosts would at least maintain breathing space over second-placed Sporting Lisbon, who have a game in hand, whereas a positive result for the visitors would strengthen their push for a top-five finish heading into the final stretch.

Porto headed into the international break in strong form, extending their winning run with a 2-1 comeback victory over Braga, where William Gomes and Seko Fofana struck to secure another three points.
The Dragons have now won each of their last four outings across all competitions and will look to pick up where they left off before the two-week hiatus.
Porto have conceded a league-low 11 goals this season.
Francesco Farioli’s men have also progressed to the Europa League quarter-finals during this period, and they will view Saturday’s clash as an opportunity to maintain rhythm ahead of upcoming European commitments.
Confidence is further boosted by their formidable home record, with Porto unbeaten in the league at the Dragao, where they have combined defensive solidity and efficiency in the final third to emerge as the division’s standout hosts.
Famalicao, meanwhile, arrive in encouraging form after three consecutive victories, the latest being a narrow 1-0 success over Nacional before the international break.
That run has lifted Hugo Oliveira’s side into fifth place, strengthening their push for a first-ever continental berth following last term's near success.
Famalicao have failed to score in five of their last seven away matches.
The Vila Nova outfit have been defensively resilient, conceding just once across their last five outings, though their struggles on the road remain a concern heading into this trip.

Whispers predicts: Porto 2-0 Famalicao
Porto’s defensive strength and impressive home form make them clear favourites, particularly against a Famalicao side that has struggled for consistency away from home, so it is hardly surprising the Dragons are priced at 1.37 for a win.
This encounter has all the makings of a low-scoring affair between two sides that have thrived defensively, and with Famalicao finding it difficult to score on their travels, BTTS – No looks appealing at 1.57.
Meanwhile, a home win and BTTS – No offers greater net value at 2.00, while the corner market offers further opportunities, with Porto under 6.5 corners available at 1.90.
Backing Porto to net at least twice is worthwhile at 1.61, lending support to a correct score of 2-0 in favour of the hosts, priced at 6.00.
> Match result - Porto win at 1.37 | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS - No at 1.57| Likelihood: Probable
> Porto win & BTTS - No at 2.00| Likelihood: Possible
> Team total goals - Porto over 1.5 at 1.61| Likelihood: Possible
> Team total corners - Porto under 6.5 at 1.90| Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score - Porto 2-0 Famalicao at 6.00| Likelihood: Outsider
