Preview: Austria Vienna vs. Porto

Former European champions Porto start this season's Champions League with a trip to Austria Vienna on Wednesday in Group G.

The Portuguese champions have won their first four matches in the league, a run that has taken them two points clear of Sporting Lisbon in the table.

Vienna, who beat Dinamo Zagreb in the final round of qualifying, have had a rocky start to their title defence thanks to three draws and two defeats from eight games.

The sides met in the competition back in 2002 when Porto earned a 3-0 aggregate victory in the second round.
