Vitória SC vs Porto Team News
Vitoria de Guimaraes will be without Anderson Silva over the weekend on the back of his dismissal in midweek.
In the absence of the Brazilian, attacking midfielder Matheus Bueno could be restored to the Os Vimaranenses’ starting XI after coming on in the second half against Gil Vicente.
On-loan Celtic forward Michael Johnston will expect to be recalled to Moreno’s starting team sheet in the wake of coming off the substitutes’ bench in their defeat to Braga.
After scoring the joint-highest number of goals – 40 – alongside Benfica in the Primeira Liga this season, Porto manager Sergio Conceicao is unlikely to want to tinker with his abundance of attacking options at the Estadio D. Afonso Henriques.
