Very quietly, FC Porto have taken a stranglehold of Group G.
The Portuguese giants enter Matchday 5 of the 2015 Champions League group stage with a three-point lead over Premier League champions Chelsea. A draw will see Porto qualify for the knockout rounds of the tournament. Three points, however, will all but see the club secure the group -- a huge incentive that will allow it to avoid the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the Round of 16.
For Dynamo Kiev, it's do or die at the Estadio do Dragao.
A loss -- coupled with a likely Chelsea victory over Maccabi Tel-Aviv -- will see the Ukrainians regulated to the Europa league.

Group G Porto need only a draw to qualify. Chelsea can also do so if Dynamo fail to win. A Dynamo win will see them stay in contention.
