Porto prepare to fight against Chaves in this Primeira Liga match. All you can learn about the match is found here!

Insights:
  • Porto have the the best goal difference (+7) at home in Primeira Liga
  • Chaves have won all their away games so far.

Not a lot of time to rest for the hosting team, as they had a Champions League game only three days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Atlético Madrid.
