Team news before the crowning: likely XIs for AVS v Porto

In the first match after winning the national title, Francesco Farioli is expected to make a few changes to FC Porto’s starting eleven for the trip to Vila das Aves to face already relegated AVS, currently 18th and bottom of the table. Compared to the starters against Tondela, the Dragons’ coach may bring back players such as Pripic, Francisco Moura, Rodrigo Mora and William Gomes.

At AVS, João Henriques should benefit from the return of midfielder Gustavo Mendonça, who missed the last matchday due to an accumulation of yellow cards. It is worth noting that the Aves side are on a four-game unbeaten run. They beat Nacional at Choupana, drew at home against Sporting and Vitória de Guimarães, and also drew away to Rio Ave.
