Preview
Porto hope to pick up their first win of the season when they face AC Milan on MD 3 of the UEFA Champions League.
The Portuguese side were battered 5-1 at home by Liverpool in their last match where Mané’s strike was sandwiched in between twin strikes from Salah and Firmino.
Taremi scored one for Porto, but it seemed redundant in the larger scheme of things.
Porto is still 3rd in the group with 1 point from 2 matches and have a slim chance of qualifying but need to win this one.
On the other hand, AC Milan were beaten 1-2 at home by Atletico Madrid in their previous UCL match to ensure successive UCL defeats.
Leao scored for the Italian side but late strikes from Griezmann and Suárez ensured victory for the Spanish champions.
This defeat kept AC Milan at the bottom of the table having not opened their account in the Champions League on return.
Hence, another loss could well and truly drop the curtains on the rest of their campaign.
Both sides need to gain all three points if they hope to secure any remote chances of qualifying to the next round.

We expect a closely fought clash with a stalemate being the most favourable result.
