Team news
Porto enters this game with three absences, as André André, Danilo Pereira and Ivan Marcano will miss this clash due to injury. Sergio Conceicao's men will try to score their first goal against the Lions during regulation this season, and will most likely switch to a 4-3-3 formation to do so.

Gelson Martins will be one of those M.I.A., but the real blow for the green-and-white side will be the absence of Bas Dost, the team's leader in the goalscoring department with 24 goals in all comps finding the back of the net.
