Porto HubPorto landed in the Czech Republic with a clear objective in mind: to beat Viktoria Plzen and secure a spot in the Europa League knockout stage.
What is Porto's goal?
Manager Francesco Farioli wants his team to be at maximum attention and competitiveness to guarantee a win.
Porto has 23 players available, including central defender Gabriel Brás and winger André Miranda, who trained with the main squad at Olival.
What are Farioli's options?
Left-back Zaidu returns to the options after more than a month, while Thiago Silva and Oskar Pietuszewski can only be registered after the league phase.
| Player | Position |
|---|---|
| Gabriel Brás | Central defender |
| André Miranda | Winger |
| Zaidu | Left-back |
Why is the win important?
A Porto win today and a draw in the final matchday against Rangers should be enough for the Dragons to secure a spot in the top-8.
Porto already has a 69% chance of direct qualification to the knockout stage, according to the Football Meets Data platform.
What's next?
Porto will play against Rangers at the Dragão on the 29th, and a win or draw could guarantee qualification for the knockout stage.
