Ninth-placed Gil Vicente will look to trip the top-spot chasing third-placed Porto this weekend. This Portuguese Primera Liga match will be played at Estádio do Dragão in Porto on Saturday. Porto have 13 points from five matches and are tied on points with two other sides while Gil Vicente have six points and are practically two points above the bottom-three. Porto are coming off a 3-1 win in the Champions League which extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to six. They have won five including the last two and have drawn one in this sequence. Crucially, this phase has seen them stay unbeaten in the league with four wins and a draw. Yet, with two more teams tied on the same points, Porto can’t afford a slip-up here against a side that has tripped them on their last two travels.

Gil Vicente are coming off a 5-3 win over Estoril that has halted their three-match losing streak. All those three losses have come by a single-goal margin, so the team wouldn’t have been too much disappointed. Quite interestingly, the visitors have been consistent scorers this season and that is showing in the stats. Only leaders Boavista have scored more goals than Gil Vicente’s 13 after five games. Despite all such positivity, Gil Vicente have to improve quickly on their away form, having lost three in a row this season.
