Three clean sheets in their last three Champions League matches will have Porto confident in their match against PSG. Argentine international Ezequiel Lavezzi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will looking to avoid a scoreless night in Portugal.
The current Portuguese champions enter the match after a hard fought draw away to Rio Ave on the weekend. After going ahead, Rio Ave fought back and with two brilliant strikes, Vitor Pereira's side seemed destined for defeat.
A late equalizer from Jackson Martinez saved the Dragoes from a loss, but that draw saw Porto drop to second place, behind league leaders Benfica.
Portuguese international Silvestre Varela will be available for tonight's match, forcing Christian Atsu out of the lineup. Another return for Porto will be Rolando who served a one match ban against Dinamo Zagreb after getting sent off last season against Manchester City.
More positive news for Porto will be the fact that Joao Moutinho has publicly addressed his situation at the club.
"I made the decision to stay with Porto," he said. "We believe in the value and quality we have here. I have nothing to say, except that I'm happy and what I want most is to win."
"I decided to stay with Porto because I believe in what the whole project has been doing. it was a decision that was best for me."
Carlo Ancelotti will bring his squad into Northern Portugal knowing that Porto could well be his biggest threat for the top spot in the group.
Victory in match day 1 will have the French side confident of putting together a convincing performance against Porto. Considering the amount of money that PSG has spent, one would think they should be able to take the top spot in the group with some ease, but a strong and consistent Porto side will not make it easy for them.
Ezequiel Lavezzi and Clement Chantome will return to the side on Wednesday. Chantome missed out on PSG's last domestic match due to suspension while Lavezzi was out due to injury.
Ancelotti will need to make sure his side is fully focused against Porto, considering they have a big match on the weekend against Marseille.
Porto's manager will know that a draw against the French side won't be all that bad, while a victory could really put them in the drivers seat. The hosts will take it to PSG hoping to grab the victory that not many expect.
