Tondela
Porto
- Murillo and Ferreira should both return to the midfield for the weekend after coming off the bench against Feirense.
- Petit may utilise a similar XI to the one that almost stopped Benfica in the first match day of the league. Wagner could move to a more central role, partnering Crislan or Moreno, depending how fit the former is.
- Nuno Espirito Santo will be inclined to revert to the 4-4-2 that beat Vitoria as they are in need of a win after a disappointing result against Copenhagen.
- Andre Andre and Depoitre would return to the side, with Mexican duo Corona and Herrera dropping to the bench after a poor Champions League showing.
- Brahimi may play a part for Porto after getting his first minutes of the season in midweek.
A humble approach might give Porto the win here. Tondela is far from being one of the best squads of the league but as the game against Benfica shows, they don't give up easily. I expect Porto to win and if they show a good start of the game, they might score a handful of goals.
