On UCL Matchday 6, FC Porto will face Atlético de Madrid in the hope of finishing second and qualifying for a place in the UEFA Champions League last-16. Slated for kick-off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Tuesday, December 7 at the Estádio do Dragão, referee Clement Turpin (FRA) will be the man in the middle while Jérôme Brisard (FRA) will be the VAR.

Ahead of 3rd-placed AC Milan by a single point, 2nd-placed FC Porto have 5 points from 1W, 2D, & 2L, and are within touching distance of the last-16. However, they must win or pick up a draw while hoping that red-hot Liverpool defeat AC Milan on Tuesday to avoid a delicate scenario of permutations and combinations. Porto were added to Liverpool’s list of casualties following the 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture on UCL MD5 at Anfield. Over the weekend, FC Porto smashed Portimonense S.C. to pieces in a 3-0 win in the Portuguese league, where they enjoy domestic dominance with five straight victories, WWWWW. On Tuesday, Sérgio Conceição will aim to stretch the domestic form over Atletico Madrid. The 47-year-old holds an impressive 71% win rate (170W, 37D, and 32L) after 239 games in the coaching seat for the Dragons. A 4—4—2 formation is expected from Conceição, with Mehdi Taremi and Evanilson in attack. Taremi has 2 goals so far in the UEFA Champions League, while Evanilson has yet to hit the back of the net in the star-studded arena of champions. Mateus Uribe is suspended, and if booked, Mbemba and Vitinha will miss the next game.

Liverpool faces FC Porto for the second time this season in the UEFA Champions League group stage, having already qualified for the knockout stage. Following the Reds’ 5-1 win over the Portuguese outfit in the reverse fixture, both sides meet again at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, November 24 at Anfield. Felix Zwayer (GER) has been given the nod to take charge of this fixture for the length of its duration, while Bastian Dankert (GER) will be the VAR. 

FC Porto remains unbeaten in four games in all competitions: LWDWW, and are second in UCL Group B with 5 points, one point ahead of third-place Atletico Madrid – after 1W, 2D, and 1L. Sérgio Conceição’s side must defeat Liverpool to remain in contention for a second-place finish in the group. The 46-year-old will be going for the kill when he lines up the conventional 4—4—2 formation with Toni Martínez and the Iranian center-forward, Mehdi Taremi, forming the two-pronged attack. In a bid to keep Liverpool at bay, skipper, Pepe will be saddled with the responsibility of keeping the back line organized. Mateus Uribe and Vítor Ferreira will miss the next match if booked on Wednesday. Luis Díaz has 2 goals in the competition for Porto and will be on the hunt for a third on UCL MD5.

The early kick-off encounter between AC Milan and FC Porto ushers in another round of UEFA Champions League fixtures on the second day of UCL Matchweek 4. This reverse fixture between the Italian and the Portuguese sides is slated for 18:45 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, November 3, at the San Siro. Referee Clément Turpin (FRA) will be the man in the middle while François Letexier (FRA) will be the VAR.

FC Porto defeated Boavista 4-1 over the weekend on the home front in the Primeira Liga. On continental soil, the Portuguese outfit sits in 3rd place, having 4 points alongside second-placed Atletico Madrid in Group B after 1W, 1D & 1L. Porto has only one defeat in five games across all competitions: WWWLW, and Sérgio Conceição will be aiming for the win in order to overtake ATM, who have a difficult fixture against Liverpool later in the evening. The conventional 4—4—2 formation with Toni Martínez and the Iranian center-forward, Mehdi Taremi, in attack is expected once again.

The UEFA Champions League Group B fixture, FC Porto vs. AC Milan, kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Tuesday, October 19, at the Estádio do Dragão. This will be the first meeting between both sides in 18 years.

FC Porto defeated S.U. Sintrense, 5-0 in Friday’s third-round Taça de Portugal fixture. However, on UCL Matchday 2, Porto’s 25th UEFA Champions League group campaign suffered a huge blow in the shape of a 5-1 defeat to Liverpool on home soil. The huge defeat remains Porto's only loss in five games across all competitions: WWLWW. It leaves Porto in third place in Group B with 1 point after 0W, 1D & 1L while having an unimpressive goal difference of -4. Sérgio Conceição aims to avoid defeat against Milan to keep Porto’s chances of playing continental football open. The club has lost seven of their last 16 games in the UEFA Champions League proper (7W, 2D, & 7L) but has an 87%-win rate on home soil, having picked up those 7 victories in 8 at the Estádio do Dragão. The conventional 4—4—2 formation with Toni Martínez and the Iranian center-forward, Mehdi Taremi, forming the two-pronged attack could be seen once again. Pepe returned to action in the 2-1 win against Paços de Ferreira in the Portuguese Primeira Liga after an injury lay-off which left him unavailable against Liverpool. He is expected to return to the starting lineup for this game against AC Milan on Tuesday.

The UEFA Champions League Group B fixture, FC Porto vs. Liverpool FC, kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Tuesday, September 28 at Estádio do Dragão.

FC Porto remain unbeaten in five games across all competitions: WDDWW and sit in 2nd place in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, having picked up a 2-1 win against Gil Vicente over the weekend. On UEFA Champions League Matchday 1, Porto picked up a goalless draw against Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, leaving the club with one point after their first UCL fixture: 0W, 1D, & 0L. Now, manager Sérgio Conceição aims to avoid a defeat against Liverpool on Tuesday so as to remain in contention for the knock-out phase. The 46-year-old could line up the conventional 4—4—2 formation with Toni Martínez and the Iranian center-forward, Mehdi Taremi, forming the two-pronged attack. Skipper Pepe will be saddled with the responsibility of keeping Liverpool's top scorer, the red-hot-form Mohamed Salah, quiet throughout the length of the game. Salah reached another milestone for Liverpool with his fifth goal of the season on Saturday. The Egyptian was involved in 33% of Liverpool's goals against Milan. A brief history reveals that FC Porto have lost five of their last eight fixtures against English sides, leaving their overall home record against English teams at W8, D7, & L5. Looking ahead, FC Porto will host AC Milan at the Estádio do Dragão on UEFA Champions League Matchday 3, Oct. 19.

The UEFA Champions League Group B fixture, Atletico de Madrid vs. FC Porto, kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, September 15 at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. Referee Ovidiu Haţegan (ROU) will have the luxury of officiating this game while Radu Ghinguleac (ROU) and Sebastian Gheorghe (ROU) will be assisting. Marco Di Bello (ITA) will be the VAR.

Meanwhile, FC Porto remain unbeaten in five games across all competitions: WWDWD. The Portuguese outfit sit in 4th place in the Primeira Liga, having picked up a 1-1 draw against Sporting CP over the weekend. Manager, Sérgio Conceição will be in the run for at least a point against Atletico Madrid considering the difficult task ahead over the next few weeks. This will be FC Porto's 25th UEFA Champions League group appearance, a record only bested by Real Madrid and Barcelona (both having 26). FC Porto have reached the round-of-16 in their last four appearances in the UEFA Champions League. On Wednesday, Sérgio Conceição could line up the 4—2—3—1 formation with Toni Martínez at the top of the shape. Martínez has three goals for the club in the domestic league and promises to be Atletico Madrid’s biggest threat. The club could be without Marko Grujic, who is currently sidelined with a muscular injury.
