FC Porto vs. Dinamo Zagreb: Lineups

Porto have not risked their recovering players but name an otherwise strong side despite having already qualified to take on Dinamo Zagreb at the Estadio do Dragao.

Jackson Martinez and James Rodriguez both start for the hosts, along with Joao Moutinho and Steven Defour in midfield. All are key players for the Portuguese club and it is a surprise that they’ve been risked in such an unimportant (and likely easy) game. Abdoulaye Ba makes a rare start, along with Eliaquim Mangala.

Meanwhile for Dinamo Zagreb, key player and top scorer Sammir returns to the side, while youngster Mateo Kovacic also makes a start in midfield for the visitors.

FC Porto (4-3-3): Helton; Danilo, Eliaquim Mangala, Abdoulaye Ba, Nicolas Otamendi; Lucho Gonzalez, Joao Moutinho, Steven Defour; Jackson Martinez, James Rodriguez, Silvestre Varela.

Dinamo Zagreb (4-3-3): Ivan Kelava; Sime Vrsaljko, Domagoj Vida, Josip Simunic, Josip Pivaric; Mateo Kovacic, Arijan Ademi, Marcelo Brozovic; Fatos Beqiraj, Duje Cop, Sammir.
