Porto have absolutely dominated Vizela in their H2H duels as the two teams have only met nine times in their history and Porto have eight wins, along with one draw.

Porto preview: Can they get involved in the title race?

At the moment, Porto sit six points behind Benfica and seven points behind Sporting, so their chances of winning the title are not great. However, with nine rounds left in the season, the hope is still alive. That being said, Porto enter this match after elimination against Arsenal on penalties in Champions League.

When it comes to team news, Porto are currently without injured Alan Varela, Zaidu Sanusi, Ivan Marcano, and Gabriel Veron.

Vizela preview: Looking for a way out of the relegation zone

While Vizela are currently sitting in the relegation zone, they have been in solid form recently, with two wins, two draws, and just one loss in their last five matches. So, there is still hope for Vizela that they can secure their place in the top flight for next season, although they can hardly hope for points from their next match against Porto.

Vizela will once again be without their goalkeeper Francesco Ruberto, who is dealing with a muscle injury.

Predicted Lineup – Buntic – Silva, Goncalves, Escoval, Pereira – Costa, Ortiz – Lokilo, Samu, Quina – Essende

Player to watch: Evanilson

With 10 goals in Primeira Liga this season, Evanilson is Porto's top scorer in the league, although he is quite behind other top scorers overall, which is why he's contributions are crucial for Porto to get involved in the title race.

Is Evanlison a good choice to be the first goalscorer?

With a total of 15 goals in all competitions this season, Evanilson managed to score the first goal seven times, so he is probably the best choice to become the first goalscorer against Vizela.
