THE TEAM NEWS
ANTWERP
Alhassan Yusuf is poised to make his first Champions League start given Antwerp's injury problems in midfield, with Mandela Keita the latest to visit the treatment room after being forced off in Belgian Pro League action over the weekend.
Although Keita hasn't been definitively ruled out at this stage, Ritchie De Laet, Bjorn Engels and Jacob Ondrejka will definitely miss this contest.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-1-3): Butez; Bataille, Alderweireld, Coulibaly, Wijndal; Yusuf, Vermeeren; Ekkelenkamp; Muja, Janssen, Balikwisha
UNAVAILABLE: De Laet (Injured), Engels (Injured), Ondrejka (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Keita (Injured)
PORTO
Ivan Marcano will definitely miss the trip to Belgium, while fellow defenders Pepe, Zaidu Sanusi and Wendell could also be absent, meaning Sergio Conceicao will need to dig deep into his squad for rearguard options.
Ivan Jaime and Gabriel Veron are also considered doubtful to feature.
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Diogo Costa; João Mário, Fábio Cardoso, David Carmo, André Franco; Pepê, Eustáquio, Varela, Galeno; Evanilson, Taremi
UNAVAILABLE: Marcano (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Pepe (Injured), Zaidu (Injured), Wendell (Injured), Jaime (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
No team have conceded more goals at this stage of the competition than Antwerp, which naturally gives Porto cause for optimism ahead of this clash. The Portuguese side, although they have one or two injury concerns in defence, haven't conceded more than once in their last 11 games in all competitions. The will aim to keep things tight here and nick an away win, so a win to nil for the visitors is worth looking at.
TIP: PORTO TO WIN TO NIL
