Key Players to Watch: Gil Vicente vs Porto

Andrew (Gil Vicente): The Brazilian shot-stopper earned the Player of the Match award last weekend, and he will need to replicate his three saves at a bare minimum if he is to stop this star-studded away attacking unit. His distribution for setting up attacks was also good in the opener, as he played seven accurate long balls.

Samuel Aghehowa (Porto): Before his move to northern Portugal, Aghehowa was wanted by many of Europe’s top teams. He has seemed to have made the right decision, however, scoring 25 goals in his 42-game debut season. He has started this one much the same, bagging two in just one.
