The Dragons won 5-0 at AVS to maintain the pace in the Primeira Liga, Samu Omorodion hitting a hat-trick inside 16 minutes. They then beat Moreirense 2-0 in the League Cup quarter-finals.

Vitor Bruno’s side had few problems beating Estoril 4-0 on Sunday. Danny Namaso and Pepê scored in the first half with Galeno coming off the bench to bag a brace, both goals assisted by Martim Fernandes.

Porto Injuries & Team News


Left-backs Zaidu Sanusi and Wendell are injured with centre-back Ivan Marcano closer to returning from a knee injury.
