Barcelona will hope to make it two wins in a row in their Champions League group with an away victory over Porto at the Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday.
The Spanish hosts are unbeaten this season and have won all their games bar two across all competitions. Star striker Robert Lewandowski is expectedly their leading goalscorer in the league with five goals to his name and his scoring prowess will be handy against the Portuguese side who are unbeaten at their home ground since February earlier this year. Porto, however, are heading into this fixture on the back of a defeat at the hands of Benfica in their most recent league outing.

Porto team news
Porto boss Sergio Conceicao will be concerned about the fitness of their 40-year-old captain Pepe for the upcoming match. Pepe missed the recent game against Benfica due to a muscular issue, and his availability against Barcelona is uncertain. In the match against Benfica, Fabio Cardoso had to step in for Pepe but was shown a red card in the 19th minute.
