- Porto’s line-up:. in advance, 8 p.m. 01.
- in advance, 7:58 PM. Handful of substitutions. Due to the absence of strongmen Jean Butez and Toby Alderweireld, the Antwerp starting eleven looks a bit different than that against Racing Genk. Senne Lammens and Zeno Van Den Bosch are the logical replacements at the back. Jelle Bataille, Arbnor Muja and Vincent Janssen also (surprisingly) start on the bench in Porto. Their replacements are Owen Wijndal, Gyrano Kerk and the very young George Ilenikhena. .

- in advance, 9:55 am. If you lose, the top 2 is gone. With 0 points after 3 matches, Antwerp will definitely be knocked out of the race for the top 2 in group H if they lose tonight. The top 2 continue in the CL. But third place – and the Europa League parachute – remains possible. Then the Antwerpians will have to beat Donetsk and count on the Ukrainians not collecting too much more. Shakhtar will play his home match against Barcelona in Hamburg tonight at 6.45 pm. If the Spaniards win, they are assured of the 1/8th finals. .
